Southerly gale.
The wind was so strong it was difficult to walk at times. Finding a sheltered spot wasn't really an option either.
I spent an hour seawatching but all that passed were Gannets havsule, a few Shag toppskarv and small numbers of gulls. Out at the lookout point a Wigeon brunnakke was on one of the small pools there - an unusual sighting to put it mildly. Other stuff included a few Wheatear steinskvett, a Snipe enkeltbekkasin and a Common Sandpiper strandsnipe.
Back home in the garden House Sparrow gråspurv doubled to a massive two and the Marsh Tit løvmeis returned for a second day.
