Ramsey Sound 27th Dec - Med Gulls, little gulls, divers etc

From St Justinan end, watching for several hours, noted usual "resident?" mixed small gull flocks feeding in the tide-race mostly on the Ramsey-side opposite our watch-point. These included 200-300 kittiwakes (good numbers of 1st winter birds noted), similar number of black-headed gulls, at least 3 adult med gulls and 3 little gulls (2 first winter and one second-winter birds) - probably the same individuals recorded previously on 20th Dec. About 10 common gulls  went south through the sound but these did not appear to be staying to feed with the kittiwakes etc that hung around most of the day. Other birds feeding in the tide-race included razorbills (30+) and several guillemots. Very few auks in the Sound were noted in flight - most were typically just floating/swimming south today in the strong current, diving occasionally as they went.

There was also a small southerly passage of divers through the sound. Individual birds were noted flying through between 1100 and 1330 hrs.  They included a few red-throated and two black-throated divers.  It was noticeable that there were a lot more gulls and flying auks etc to the north that were heading along the north side of Ramsey and not passing though the Sound, so other divers etc may have been missed?
