Seawatch, 30 November 2015

It was a great day to end November and bring us into the final month of the Seawatch migration count up in Avalon. The Scoter flight was close to shore and strong throughout the day, with 12,445 birds tallied across the three species. Also, worth noting was the spotting of only the second Razorbill for the 2015 season.
