The predicted storm didn’t hit until this afternoon, and up until then, things were bearable. Off Branksome 6 Red-throated Diver passed west, along with 1 Great Northern Diver, c20 auks (most likely Razorbill) and 6 dark-bellied Brent Geese. To complete the diver hat-trick a Black-throated Diver was on the water close to the harbour entrance. A Spotted Redshank was in Lytchett Bay again this afternoon, at teh PCW Drain c10 Common Chiffchaff were feeding along the channel this morning,
