Light easterly winds and sunny.
Today I was, as is so often the case, hoping for a good movement of birds after a period of poor migration weather. Although it was far from quiet it was not any kind of record setting day. It was something of a struggle to keep and eye on everything as there was quite a bit of very distant auk movement along with a decent passage of other stuff much closer in. The Common Gulls fiskemåke did a bit of both.....
It was the best day so far this year for Cormorants storskarv and I suspect some flocks may have passed behind the lookout point
