Picking up out on the Briny

Nice flock of 35 Eiders (H.102) made their way north this morning. More activity generally with a few groups of Scoter...unfortunately none with white in the wing. Interestingly, all divers were heading south. I had a nice summer plumaged Great Northern amongst the Red-throats (c30). No Skuas for me but quite a few down the road. I shall persevere...

Day off tomorrow, so out and about locally. Winds still in the North, so a sea-watch first thing. Hopefully something of significance to report tomorrow evening...

Took this shot of a couple of the Whoopers down at Kilnsea yesterday with a 1.7 converter. Not great but could be useful for record purposes. It WAS the equivalent of 1020mm... so passable hand-held!
