Ness Point, Lowestoft.

Spent an hour at high water around mid-day. Southerly wind and inter cloud. Best bird was a KITTIWAKE flying south, rather odd to say the least. RAZORBILL and GUILLEMOT, with most birds flying north. One ARCTIC SKUA hunting gulls south. Most GANNETS where of the same persuasion, but where in all types of plumage, ranging from full adult to totally immature.A fl;lock of eight EIDER flying north and nine SHAG heading south. Most birds where CORMORANT in this area but the occasional single shag flying was not unusual. There was a large movement of RED-THROATED-DIVER  interspersed with the occasional GREAT-  CRESTED -GREBE. Seems rather odd as these birds are more than likely to be feeding offshore with the Broads frozen. 20 TURNSTONE about finds the end except that I gained the confidence of my local Robin today and he came to within 6 inches of my hand for a meal worm.


I locked on to three HARBOR PORPOISE well off shore and also an adult HERRING GULL- Right leg- WHITE- Black lettering- A7YY (Young bird in tow)
