Sun 20th Nov 22

Richard & I started a seawatch around 10:00, things were much quieter than of late but soon picked up with a quality bird in Little Auk,  picked up by Paul Brayshaw from the raised tee and passing us close offshore shortly afterwards. We were joined by Pete Loud for a while before another message from Paul had us pacing it out to French Point where he had a Razorbill sitting on the rocks. A good morning considering the poor start weather wise.

Totals for the morning offshore: 13 Brent (8s 5n), c50 (sitting on the sea), 4 Com. Scoter (n), 5 Gannet (n), 1 R T Diver (s), 15 Cormorant (13n 2s), 1 Grey Heron (s), 3 Gt C Grebe (2s 1n), 1 Curlew (s), 1 Little Auk (s).

Plus 1 Razorbill and 1 Purple Sandpiper on French Point rocks. PL/RJ/MR/PBr/PRD.
