Weather: NW force 3/4 cooler than of late
A moderate north westerly was enough to bring in some autumn sea birds in view from the islands today. Noteworthy were 3 Manx Shearwaters and 3 Arctic Skuas, but also 6 Gannets, a Kittiwake, 4 Great Crested Grebes and a Red-breasted Merganser. Six Little Terns and a couple of Common Terns were among the estimated 300 Sandwich Terns. Fifty two Turnstone (including summer plumaged individuals), 6 Whimbrel and 9 Sanderling were the best of the waders.
