3 Skua Day

Good day today - got down the bay at 6:30. Nige was already there and within the next 30 min we got treated to good views of a total of 12 Pomarine Skuas. Other birds during a three hour seawatch included a few Artic Skuas, a Bonxie, a Manx Shearwater, 5 Velvet Scoter and 2 Great Nothern Divers. Shame we missed the Long-tailed Skua that had been seen flying past Dungeness early morning. Otherwise a few migrants in the area including Tree Pipit, Ring Ouzel, Yellow Wagtail and 2 Wheatears.
