Today was very good; we had a strong flight of Gannets in the morning, Scoter in the middle of the day, and Red-throated Loons in the evening.
Total we had almost 20,000 birds pass through.
The most unexpected bird seen flying south by the Sea Watch was a Brown Pelican; it makes you wonder where the heck that bird has been hanging around?
Another bird seen today that we have not seen to much of was a lone Great Cormorant.
