When NE wind blows!

With a cold NE wind blasting across the peninsular the only realistic option was to do more sea watching.

A wander around The Desert was a lost cause as the wind blasted dust in my face, 2 Greenland Wheatears cowered behind some Gorse, 2 Common Whitethroats sang from deep inside some Brambles and 2 Sandwich Terns whizzed over towards the power station.
This afternoons sea watch was cold vigil from the fishing boats.
