There was nothing out of the ordinary about but still a good movement of GANNET of shore with 416 counted heading north and about 30 south. There where more younger birds with intermediates today. With dark phase following there adult still. I should imagine I must have had 50+ RED-THROATED-DIVER heading north to with the occasional auk putting in an appearance. Only other thing of note was single GREATCRESTED GREBE that was heading the same way.
I also had a HARBOUR PORPOISE but he was well of shore and feeding in the tide near the south continental buoy.
I also kept company with 10 PURPLE SAND'S which where for a change active and in good light.
Our usual white colour ringed HERRING GULL was also very loud today.
