A Sooty Shearwater seen at several locations along the coast this morning flew east from Elmer at 09:03 (OM)  also 2 Razorbill on the sea and a good candidate for a 1st Win Caspian Gull along the beach (AH)

I watched mainly from the Poole Place area (the gateway to shelter from the force 4-5 SSE wind)

from 0810-1010hrs.... the clear highlight was the Sooty Shearwater heading east at 0903hrs, not too far out all, about half way I'd say, in very clear visibility. Originally seen at Selsey very close in about 0845 and subsequently seen at Worthing by Nick Bond, also a report off Hove. Mylog was....

I should mention separately I made a visit to the local reservoir late morning, where there had clearly been a bit of an influx of wildfowl. I eventually came across a Scaup amongst the flock, which was very elusive to start with but eventually gave itself up a bit. Adam Huttly came across to see it...I attach 2 photos, mine first and his second. For the record there were 39 Tufted and 18 Pochard there also.
