Friday 21st November

The five Velvet Scoter were still offshore, with four often separate and the fifth with a raft of 18 Common Scoter, also on the sea nine Great Crested Grebe, five Red-throated Diver and a female Goldeneye, the latter the first for the winter and just the third record of the year.

Elsewhere a Kingfisher was hovering over rockpools at Langstone Rock, a Chiffchaff was with 10 Long-tailed Tit on Warren Point, with at least seven elsewhere and two Firecrest in Dead Dolphin Wood.
