Some North in the wind, so I rose pre-dawn and positioned myself on the cliff top at Out Newton...with my faithful friend...of course!
I dreamt of an Osprey or some Whooper Swans but no joy in 3 hours. I did log a couple of skeins of Pink-footed Geese, totalling 27 birds...heading North?
The highlight came around 9 when I picked up an Auk with particularly whirring wings. My first Puffin! So it was worth the effort after all.
Only slightly galling to hear news of Whooper Swans on the Humber and a Pom Skua passing North past Spurn that disappeared (like so many others) into the Holmpton "triangle ".
Laptop off to the " docs" tomorrow so hopefully back to normal soon...
