Overcast with a strong West wind which gave long shots of birds and many went past undetected. Especially waders, which were all to far away to give id. Also birds well off the horizon were simply caught in haze and most assumed to be cormorant.
Ness Point: Best bird was a close in running female RED BREASTED MERGANZER. Which I would have missed had it not been for Phil Jackson as we talked. Also three GREAT NORTHERN DIVER flying South as well as 7 RED THROATED DIVER all North. 2 BRENT GEESE heading the wrong way and a pair of BLACK TAILED GODWIT. Other than that 13 GANNET and 2 PIED WAGTAIL as well as 11 TURNSTONE.
