Some good fun seawatching tonight. There were literally thousands of large gulls on the move northward, mainly herrings and commons, along with good numbers of kittiwakes, gannets and auks. Among the large gulls were 2 immature iceland gulls (pretty distant so i'm not going to have a stab at ageing either of them). Also, 2 great skuas went north, and for the second time in recent weeks, I had a rook coming in off. Also travelling north were 5 redthroats and a single common scoter.
The biggest surprise was a massive, fat greylag/swan goose hybrid that lumbered past the foghorn!
