Saturday 02/11/2019

As I pulled up at the fishing boats this morning the Shorelark was still feeding around the puddles in the early morning sunshine.
 Juvenile Gannet
30 minutes sea watching produced just a few each of Gannets, Auks and Kittiwakes, also 2 Turnstones were feeding on the high tide line. The weather quickly deteriorated as the wind increased to gale force, so it was time for breakfast and to watch the rugby, though with hindsight I'd rather have gotten a soaking sea watching.
 This afternoon the regular German ringed Caspian Gull was roosting at the puddles
1 of several Great-crested Grebes that flew around The Point
An hours sea watch in the company of SO & OL saw very little apart from Cormorants, a few Gannets and Great-crested Grebes. An adult Yellow-legged Gull was in the beach roost. Maybe the storm will deliver the birds to morrow.
