Rocken End

Not much to report lately. Missed Tuesday's 'bonxie' day down the Point: the lads reported 55 east; I managed to get down there for an hour that afternoon and added another; but I could sense it had dried up.
This morning I got down to Rocken End for a change, hoping to find some spring rare in the vicinity. But very quiet, so ended up paying the sea more attention (Slight easterly breeze): more arctic skuas moving east, along with commics/sarnies and a handful of little gulls etc..
 
 
 
More like it - blue skies and warmth
