The
interesting thing today was a large number of Auks off Long Nab, where 1800+
were estimated this morning, and in the North Bay/Marine Drive area, seemingly
all of these were Guillemots or Razorbills. Moving off Long Nab today were a breeding
plumaged Red-throated Diver (north), 35 Sandwich Terns (north), a Common Tern
(south), 8 Puffins (north), 39 Swifts, 8 Sand Martins, 2 Swallows, and 73
Starlings (all south) and 15 Swifts (north).
Also
today a Hobby was seen in Troutsdale around midday and there were 20 Sandwich
Terns at Scalby Mills.
As
for Dragonflies it is interesting to mention that in the vicinity of Seamer Tip
pool there is a shallow pool to the west of Thornburgh Road about 60 metres
after the barricade where 3 male and at least 1 female Red-veined Darters have
been present since yesterday.
