Arctic Tern and Little Gulls (Sea passage)
The sea was interesting over the weekend. After the early morning fog lifted on Saturday, common scoters quickly appeared in numbers. Terns, skuas, and a variety of waders ensued. The highlight was a strong passage of little gulls and a close in Adult Arctic Tern.

April
Keeping it 'local' during lockdown. The weather has been fine.
Crossbills have become an almost daily encounter as they go over; three more today.
Couple of willow warblers and a flock of redwing this morning.
