Avalon Seawatch - 17 November 2011

Even more rain and much colder weather made for a rather bitter day. However, the birds put on a halfway decent show. A distant Razorbill flew south early in the day, and there were good numbers of White-winged Scoters, and Parasitic Jaegers. A flock of 12 Tundra Swans was a nice treat. And again, nasty weather proves to be productive.
