Harbour & Ness Point goodies

On Sunday 29th November, a look in Hamilton Dock revealed the Red- throated Diver in the southern harbour area near the South Pier where it was joined by a second Red- throated Diver. Some calls revealed 2 excellent Russian White- fronted geese flying high over the Hamilton Dock and inland. OFB turned up and we drove over and walked over to the South Pier, we were joined by Steve from Norwich, initially no sign then I saw a single Red- throated Diver back in Hamilton Dock, so back to Hamilton road and we initially had mid distance views. Chris M joined and he walked over to Ness Point and called us over he had spotted a Guillemot but it was drifting quickly north with the tide and I ran to join him and eventually picked up the fine Guillemot just before it reached the "finger"! 2 calling Oystercatchers flew south over the sea. Later on typical to hear the EYW had turned up at CM again.
