GORING GAP : A bitterly cold morning meant that just a brief look offshore was carried out this morning, there was plenty happening offshore but most of the birds were very distant with feeding frenzy's of Gannets, gulls and auks happening which amassed to many hundreds of birds, there was still good number of Great-crested Grebes on the sea with smaller number of Red-breasted Mergansers around. A Fulmar flew past east quite close inshore as did a single Red-throated Diver, 2 1st winter Greater black-backed Gulls were on the roost fields and the usual number of Med Gulls/Skylarks and waders were around NB/GJ
