WORTHING: Seawatch from East Worthing beach this morning. Predictably very little moving with only a very light SW breeze, but made worthwhile by a quite distant Velvet Scoter on the sea, a male I think. Also on the sea, a Wigeon, three Great Crested Grebes, five Red-breasted Mergansers and Herring, Black-headed, Common and Great Black-backed Gulls. A further three Red-breasted Mergansers flew west, as did three Common Scoters, a Gannet, c150 Dunlin, three Turnstones, and a couple of distant unidentified auks. Colin Holter via SOS
