The quietest day of the loonatic season thus far with very little passing - barely 200 birds in a few hours.

Guillemot lomvi (left) with Razorbill alke.
I often get the impression that Guillemots look "hunch backed" - something that comes across in this iamge
The clean underwings of the Razorbill and the dirty / streaked underwings are shown here
Razorbill regularly raise their heads - a bit like Red-throated Diver smålom do

The numbers, such as they were:
| Red throated Diver N | 3 |
| Northern Gannet N | 42 |
| Great Cormorant S | 3 |
| Eurasian Shag N | 8 |
| Eurasian Shag S | 45 |
| Common Scoter N | 1 |
| Common Scoter S | 12 |
| Oystercatcher N | 30 |
| Common Gull N | 25 |
| Lesser black backed Gull N | 7 |

| Arctic Tern S | 3 |
| Common Guillemot N | 1 |
| Razorbill N | 10 |
| Atlantic Puffin N | 4 |

Filleting some fish in my garden brought in a colour ringed gull and a lot of mayhem.
