There was a blend of winter meets spring in the cool east / north easterly winds as 7 Purple Sandpipers sat alongside 2 Whimbrel and three summer plumage Turnstone on the rocks at Hutchwns Point . Two Swift and 2 Sand Martin flew through. There were also 3 Wheatear present but these were constantly harassed by the local breeding Rock Pipits. Offshore 2 Common Scoter flew down-channel and a Fulmar was patrolling the cliffs. I wouldn’t have seen the Fulmar were it not for me staying to watch the constant low circling overhead of an A350-1000 Airbus!
