This afternoon however, thing took a real turn for the better and produced a new entry to the platform's year list. While taking a tour around the platform, I found a Guillemot in close proximity.Now, finding a Guillemot in the North Sea is hardly a seismic birding event, but a new bird on the year list in February means a lot to me. I was actually worried that I might not get a Guillemot this year. Last year, I had quite a few over a period of a few weeks early in the year, but they were always at night time and gone by daybreak. That is with the exception of one bird seen a few days after Christmas ( see photo above in post 111# ). I don't work nights much anymore, so the possibility of missing out on Guillemots was in the back of my mind. Now I can relax and wait on the King Eider I've ordered up. :t:The List Updated 1.
