Seawatching.
After a very strong N wind yesterday and a good few Sooties and Bonxies around I made the effort, despite backache.

Barnacle Geese 120, 15, 20, 300, 70, 80, 130 (735N)
Pink footed Geese 80, 49 (129N)
Red breasted Merganser 1N

Manx Shearwater 1N
Sanderling 20N
Wigeon 2, 25, 12 (39N)

Velvet Scoter 7 males in one flock N
Arctic Skua 1 distant chasing.
Bonxie 1 loafing then drifted S
Arctic Tern 1 fw N
Golden Plover 50, 17 (67N)

Plus reasonable numbers of Gannets and Kittiwakes but no Fulmars. A good few auks moved N too with all those specifically identified being Guillemots.
It went quiet by 8.15am...
