I spent a whole 2 hrs on Saturday morning seawtaching. This is without doubt the longest seawatch I've done in the last ten years, or more. However, I was rewarded with a number of patch ticks including three red-breasted merganser, three long-tailed duck and three adult sum. plum. great northern diver. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't convince myself that there wasn't a white-billed diver amongst them; although I strongly suspect one or two of them were. Amazingly no Poms either, surely the only place along the east coast that didn't get one.
Still three birds for the year, along with a much later than normal jack snipe this morning. So that puts me nicely on to 111 species for the year and 106.73%.
Easterlies tomorrow...
Happy days
