Seaford Head, Old Lodge + Splash Point 5/5/13

Started the day on S'ford Head where there was literally nothing. Not a single new arrival was noted. Anyway a quick detour to Splash resulted in a few Arctic Skuas and a Little Tern past.

Old Lodge was next with Dick and James where the usual stuff was seen. However, after all this an afternoon seawatch at Splash produced masses of Terns and lots of Skuas for a change.
