South West wind but clear out to sea with a high tide.
Perhaps the best movement of birds for the Autumn so far with Auks well out except for one that was identifiable as a GUILLEMOT. But it was also good to see a BONXIE which was on the water and the flying North. GANNETS well I stopped counting at 95. A single GREAT CRESTYED GREBE heading North and 2 LAPWING South. In off saw small flocks of REDWING 11 and a ROBIN flew in and settled briefly. Also a single ROCK PIPIT was behind the wall. A pair of OYSTERCATCHER flew North close inshore. A few RED THROATED DIVER heading mostly North but one very dark bird raises a question. BRENT GEESE flying South also raised in number to 55. Only a single COMMON GULL and COMMON SCOTER.
