Sea Watch, Friday November 27th, 2009

Today I was expecting a bit of rain with the nippy wind, but thankfully what rain we were going to get occurred in the early hours of the morning.

The number of bird seen today is comparable to yesterday's. We had a Lesser Black-backed Gull today, along with late migrating Great Egrets and Forster's Terns. We set a new season record this season for Brant in one day, 248.

Here is a list of birds seen today:
