Spent an hour or two at Huttoft car terrace this morning seeing much the same as Ed, John and all.
Two of the Little Auks came right up to the car, I thought they were going to land, but they returned to sea. All auks were heading south.
Also saw Little Auks at Churchill Lane and Saltfleet Haven (just to get them on my local patch list).
Went back on beach at Saltfleet late afternoon, wind had died down and no auks seen.
