With fairly stiff onshore winds, a mormings seawatch off East Runton was the order of the day.
Undoubted highlight was a Black Guillemot which flew past before landing on the sea, but as birds often do in choppy seas it promptly disappeared amongst the troughs. It later transpired that after I had left, it had flown west being noted off both Sheringham and Blakeney Point.
Other birds of note seen during the watch included a Great Skua, my first of the autumn, and a few Arctic Skuas. Ducks were represented by a few Wigeon, Teal and Common Scoters, and waders were also much in evidence with Bar-tailed Godwits, Golden and Grey Plovers, Dunlin and Knot the most notable species.
