Divers, Mergansers, Grebes and Shags off Hunstanton Cliffs, 9th January 2016

A great day on the cliffs, with at least 3 Shags now in residence, including a bird bearing a dark green darvic ring (NUR), at least 12 Red-breated Mergansers, 6 Great Crested Grebes and single Red-throated, Black-throated and Great Northern Divers all offshore during the day.

Shag, Hunstanton, 9th January 2016 (ringed as a chick on the Farne Islands, Northumberland in 2015 and the first sighting of the bird since it fledged).
