3rd November

It's not a difficult task to single out the highlight from today's birding, with a confiding Snow Bunting along the East Cliffs the star of yet another windswept and otherwise uneventful day. With overhead passage reduced to just 300 Starlings, 100 Goldfinches and a handful of Chaffinches, it was left to the sea to provide the remainder of interest, with singles of Sooty Shearwater and Great Skua through off the Bill.
