At the patch, another Waxwing, more Little Auks and extra Ring Ouzel

Spent a few hours this morning up at Trimingham undoubted highlight was the Waxwing that came in off and flew west.

Walking around the wood and scrub there was some vis mig with birds still coming in off, but highlights were 2 Ring Ouzel, 10 Brambling and a single flock of Long-tailed Tits containing 23 individuals was also seen.

On the sea 3 Little Auk's flew west, 46 Scoter flew west and 1 at least of which was a Velvet which was great to see. Two Red-throated Diver were on the sea and a Great Northern Diver flew west also.
