Was down at the Ness today, some very rough seas made for nice viewing. There was a group of Bottlenose Dolphin and Divers (couldn't tell the species), no sign of Snow Buntings in the car park but there was a Redshank.

The Waxwings don't seem to have arrived here yet, which isn't great. Hopefully they will arrive soon; if they don't then it might not be such a great winter for them this year. Have any of you seen them at Girdleness before?
they're normally here by now so I agree with you that it may not be such a great winter for them this year.
Squeezed in a wee seawatch this morning, between dawn and hypothermia. There were a few bits and bobs going north, but no little auks until Hugh Addlesee turned up and saw a couple that I didn't manage to connect with. Best of it for me were;
Black-throated diver, black guillemot, 5 velvet scoter, 4 long tailed duck, 8 common scoter, Arctic skua, 4 RTD, and singles of wigeon and mallard.
Any good migrants the past few days? Little Auk, Goldcrest,...Lapland Bunting? What's the weather forecast?

If we all plant a tree each in the same place we could make a right little migrant trap....hows about Whitehouse woods?
