All at sea

Not much bird-wise on the Reserve today, but offshore there was huge numbers of auks, kittiwakes, gannets and a few eiders. One Red-throated Diver flying west was a bit unseasonal - even more so was a Great Northern drifting by on the current. Also, well offshore was a scattered feeding flock of 50+ Manx Shearwaters.

There may be few birdies doing "inland" but the flowers are fantastic at the moment and numbers of butterflies are building up nicely.








Anyone seen any Ragwort?
