The Sabines Gull showed very well around the Narrows for its fourth day, coming down to three feet from one lucky observer at one point! A single Wigeon was also seen around the coast, with 32 Curlews, 18 Turnstones, five Redshanks, two Whimbrels and a Ringed Plover as exciting as it got on the Narrows otherwise. Yet another Ruff passed through the island however, heading north off the North End in the morning. Out to sea 1049 Kittiwakes and 185 Razorbills were seen, with a small selection of other species amongst them; Skuas numbered 15 Arctics, three Greats and two Pomarines, while ten Arctic Terns, seven Sandwich Terns and two Commic Terns were seen. The only other species of any consequence were seven Common Scoters and five Common Gulls.
The Sabine's Gull really has been extremely co-operative at times! |
