31st December 2020

 Weather: W force 2,   wintery showers.

The highlights of the last day of the year were a female type Eider that drifted up the gutter with the tide and 6 Pintail which flew in from the north after the tide.One of the Grey Herons still likes to spend it's time on top of the island, even remaining when the tide ebbs. 

There was a Rock Pipit on middle and one main island, wile Oystercatchers roosted on the west side all the way along to the mast. 

There were 15 Purple Sandpipers today.

Other waders today included 8,000 Knot, 138 Turnstone and 43 Curlew. 

Eleven Red-throated Divers were noted on the sea. A Peregrine with a kill sat on the  east hoyle after tide.
