Ness Point, Lowestoft.

What a great day to sea watch. If only every day was a "Blue Sky" it can be so different, but with visibility good and  a dark sky behind what could be better.

With a movement south of BRENT GEESE it was long awaited. But how late can it be running so late. Never seen this before with at least 400 birds heading South. Some young showing with them but not so visible as plumage as is usual. Just managed 2 PURPLE SANDPIPER and 5 TURNSTONE. As for LITTLE GULLS at least 15 birds. In real terms many more. 3 GANNET and only 2 RED-THROATED DIVER. Also a North then South flying GOLDENEYE assumed same bird. There must have been 50 KITTIWAKE which should not be the case, they should be roving the oceans. Heading South were some duck which seem to have been about 50 MALLARD and 25 TEAL with 7 SHELLDUCK. There was an increase in the amount of CORMORANTS wgich ranged about both inside an far out.
