At the end of the road was the village of Teller, where we wondered at the harshness of the cold and windy weather. We first spent about an hour on the long sand-spit watching for seabirds and were provided with fly-by looks at horned puffins. Many looks at guillemots, including an incredible aerial mating display never produced diagnostic looks at black guillemot – only pigeon guillemots. A long walk across the peat-like bluff behind the Teller cemetery likewise failed to produce white wagtail, but the group enjoyed close-up looks at a vole handled by Dawn Garcia.
