The strong SW to W winds recently has brought a lot of natural flotsam in. A couple of the Black-Headed gulls were feeding amongst it, presumably finding seeds and berries. Not a bad strategy, but you have to watch the waves!
Kittiwake 1 juvenile feeding on No.2 outfall. It was still there when Janet checked in the afternoon and took these splendid shots.

| Howard took this shot of Knot at the heliport a couple of weeks ago. One of the Knot seems to be practicing its murmurations skills and is flying upside down! |
Happy New Year
