Blowin' a gale....

Large willow tree blown over along Moneyclose Lane.

NHW 1430 - 1730 hrs
Arctic Skua 2 in 1550 hrs and then over Centrica towards the harbour; ran down to harbour to intercept and never saw them again.
Kittiwake 1st S flew into harbour.
Common Tern 1 in harbour.
Swift 1 in-off, 2 out later
Dunlin 8 out
