Well it might as well be. Thousands of summer plumaged Guillemots on the cliff and covering the sea today, hundreds of Fulmars in with them and a bemused looking female Peregrine, wondering whether it was really summer. Winter en-masse arrivals of summer plumaged Guillemots are not that unusual, but not really expected before Christmas. An amazing spectacle in the winter time.

Better still though, were reports of the regular Barn Owl seen entering the owl box, hurrah. Also, seems to be finding plenty to eat at the moment, which is good news indeed.
