Around 19 species were seen with the highlights being a Black-throated Diver, three Wigeons, 117 Common Scoters, two Pomarine Skuas, eight Arctic Skuas, five Great Skuas and ten species of gull including seven Mediterranean Gulls, three Little Gulls, three Sabine's Gulls, two Common Gulls and a Yellow-legged Gull.
