16th November 2020

Weather: W force 7/8

Despite the westerly gale it was a disappointing sea watch, the best were 200 Common Scoter, 16 Great Crested Grebes, 3 Red-throated Divers, 3 Guillemot and a Gannet, although 5 Pintail flew west passed north end. 


The very high tide meant the Purple Sandpipers were unable to rest on the west side as the waves were breaking over the rocks at the north end, forcing them to shelter by Emmet rock east of the life boat slip.

 Eleven Bar-tailed Godwits were among the waders today, with 90 Turnstone and 29 Ringed Plovers. The Kestrel is still about, also a single Rock Pipit.
