I arrived at the sea to find about 300 Cormorants and 120 Gannets feeding just offshore. After some 30 minutes or so they gradually moved off.
Birds moving SW included 341 Red-throated Divers, a Black-throated Diver, 58 Auks, 44 Wigeon, 10 Teal and a Shelduck. There were also 18 Brent Geese moving NE.
In Dusky Hollow the Cetti's Warbler was still present.
Seawatch for two hours produced more of the usual, most notable 50 Cormorants, 25 Gannets, 2 Curlews, 108 Red-throated Divers and 119 Auks moving downchannel.
Also two Common Seals fed in the Bay.

A Common Seal and Harbour Porpoise fed in the Bay.
Another seawatch with very little of note apart from 105 Red-throated Divers moving down channel.
