26-27/11/2025

This Shorelark was one of the highlights of yesterdays excellent "Wednesday Birders Club" day out to Sandwich Bay, Hume's Warbler also seen but far too quick for me and my camera, more Grey Partridges, not forgetting my first Ring-necked Parakeets of the year. The top highlight was Owens lovely cake.

Back to normal this morning with an early morning seawatch, Auks, Kittiwakes and Gannets were the bulk of the birds moving West with a few Common Scoter and a lingering Sandwich Tern.
 
A visit to the Hanson Hide at the ARC where 3 Caspian Gulls were probably the highlights, also a 3rd winter Yellow-legged Gull out on the Cormorant island.
The weather deteriorated rapidly making this afternoon a time for domestic stuff.

    The circling shoveler remind me of the mad traffic circling the Arc De Triomphe
