Post subject:  Freiston Shore seawatch

Sea watch from 09.20 - 13.35 from the sea bank hide:

GN Diver 1, close in on the sea
RT Diver 4 N
GC Grebe 24
RN Grebe 1
Slav Grebe 1
Barnacle Goose 4 N
Common Scoter 114 N
Velvet Scoter 8, inc. at least 3 AdM flew in from the south and landed on the sea, still present when I left
Common Eider 8
RB Merg 11
LT Duck 5
Pintail 30
Guillemot 1
Gannet 350+ - difficult to estimate as they tend to "circulate" in a giant loop, sweeping in from Holbeach / Cut End, N past Freiston and then often turning eastward back into the Wash.
Bonxie 12
Arctic Skua 1
Pom Skua 1 juv
Little Gull 4 juv
Kittiwake 2 ad
Leach's Petrel 2 - one appeared from the south at 11.55 and drifted slowly northwards, last seen at 12.15. a 2nd bird, presumed to be a different one appeared at 12.40 and flew directly out to sea pursued by a Herring Gull
