Some of the Gannets havsule passed at close range today
Not enough wind to make for a great day's seawatching but it was still well worth the effort. Highlight was without doubt the first summer plumaged White-billed Diver gulnebblom migrating north - well worth the wait as always! The mainstay of today's migration were some 79 Red-throated Diver smålom. Small numbers of the usual suspects also passed.
On the sea a few Guillemots lomvi and a couple of Puffins lunde were present.
A migrating Willow Warbler løvsanger stopped to feed on the cliff tops shortly after dawn - first of the year for me. Other migrants included a migrating Swallow låvesvale, singing Chiff-chaff gransanger, a few Twite bergirisk and several Linnet tornirisk. A fair number of passerines seemed to come in off the sea - mostly too far off to be identified but many were White Wagtails linerle.
