Reports from today

Pete Loud

10:32 Arctic Skua south mid range to close in.

16:28 Seawatch from the Haven wasn’t very productive today, 1 Adult Arctic Skua south and then the same bird I think a couple of hours later north, a few Sandwich Terns north and 3 Common Terns north, just 4 Gannets all south, 4 Golden Plover and a few Wigeon. Missed the Velvet I think it must have passed when we were looking at the Skua.
