Observations over the sea (0830-0930) produced 50 Common Scoter, 44 Red-throated Diver, 10 Red-breasted Merganser, 5 Kittiwake, 3 Shag, 2 Velvet Scoter, 2 Guillemot and 2 Razorbill. The eastern shore added 15 Red-breasted Merganser, 3 Great Crested Grebe, 2 Shag and a Little Grebe – the latter presumably displaced by the recent freeze.
