A glorious winter's day saw a flurry of activity, mostly centred at the northern end of the island, with Ferrybridge counts including 187
Dunlin, 250
Mediterranean Gulls and 60
Brent Geese. The harbour held singles of
Great Northern Diver and
Black-
necked Grebe; while the Bill seawatch maintained its steady course with 10
Red-
throated Divers and 24
Common Scoter.
