Balearics and back to Rye

In 3 hrs from the fishing boats 11 Balearic Shearwaters W, 10 Arctic Skuas w, 2 Bonxies W, 2 Fulmars W, 4 Black Terns W, 2 Little Gulls W, 21 Common Scoters W, at least 1 Arctic Tern W, 100+ Common Terns W, 100+ Sandwich Terns W, Numerous Gannets, a steady trickle of Swallows and a few Sand Martins out to sea, 4 Grey Herons in off, also several Porpoises off shore. On the beach the Yellow legged Gull Adult and the Glaucous gull.





News of the Buff Breasted Sandpiper still at Rye made me have another look in decent light also there with the BBS, 6 Curlew Sandpipers, 4 Dunlin and 3 Ringed Plovers.
