12th February 2016

The day comprised light easterly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures peaking at 6 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with one Blue Fulmar flying north, together with seven Common Scoter and a Red-breasted Merganser, whilst an Eider headed south.

A Great Northern Diver was off South Landing and nine Ringed Plover were nearby. The Black Redstart re-appeared at the Fog Station, the two Richard’s Pipits remained in residence at North Landing and a Siskin frequented South Landing.
