A mild, windy and comprehensively dreary day with pretty well all attention given to the sea. The Bill was really difficult to cover with movement in both directions throughout the day, but faintly respectable totals of 1200 Kittiwakes, 44 Balearic Shearwaters, 33 Common Scoter, 17 Arctic Skuas, 9 Sooty Shearwaters, 7 Manx Shearwaters, 3 Arctic Terns, a Grey Phalarope and a Caspian Gull were eventually accumulated; a cursory pre-dusk look at Chesil Cove revealed 2 settled Grey Phalaropes but no word has been received of the day's fuller totals from there. Odds and ends from the land included the 2 Little Stints still at Ferrybridge.
