Chris There were small groups of migrant woodpigeons early morning c 90 south, but collared doves still in low numbers (day counts less than 10) since the population crash about 5 years ago. Various people looked offshore through the day and five adult Pomarine skuas were seen heading south as well as 5 little auk and small numbers of duck etc. A great northern diver showed quite well offshore yesterday - today's report of one may not have been reliable though.
