Red-throated Diver
With a brisk Northwesterly wind I set myself up on the front at Trimingham and crossed my fingers for something good. There were a few groups of wildfowl passing but not as many as I expected, divers, red throated, were all heading east but at some distance along with a steady stream of Gannets. I had a couple of waders, individually following behind a couple of ducks, a Sanderling and a Dunlin, the Dunlin may be a new addition to my Trimingham patch list but one bird that I knew for sure was......Bonxie - the Great Skua, there had been sightings left right and center but I had not seen one, until now that is and low and behold not long after another one! (Something about buses comes to mind).

Late afternoon I sat up nearer the front, there were at least 10 Med Gulls around and a few passing Red-throated Divers and Common Scoter but not much else, a good day getting the Bonxies though.
