Dovekies, Razorbill and a single drake King Eider were reported around this date as well.
Also, Thick-billed Murre’s along with Razorbills were visible under the right conditions from Dyer and Trundy Point.
As for new arrivals, on November 7 from Trundy Point’s undeveloped rocky headland I noted White-winged Scoters, Red-breasted Mergansers, Long-tailed Ducks, a single Black Guillemot and a lone Razorbill.
A single Razorbill and two Black Guillemots were also recorded.
