About 1/3 of the incoming tide was covered for seabirds this am and it didn't disappoint by our standards

Red-throated Diver - 4-5
Razorbill - one out
Guillemot - one out close inshore
Little Gull - adult flying steadily out
Velvet Scoter - ad drake in main Eider gang at low tide at least
Iceland Gull - 3rd S - Seen quite a few times this morning with the seawatching being undertaken from the back of the harbour and again on Red Nab early pm
Brent Goose - 10 pbb flew into Red Nab from the north mid pm
Chiffchaff - one by Obs tower pond HNR
Barn Owl - quartering Middleton late afternoon
