Having had an operation 6 days ago, I have been at home recovering but feeling a bit today, I spent a few hours out mostly looking at the sea where I didn't have to walk too far. Birds noted included 177 Brent Geese, 2 Common Scoter, 93 Oystercatcher, 1 Curlew, 1 Turnstone, 1 Razorbill, 113 large Auk east, c12 Black headed Gull, 1 Common Gull, c25 Herring Gull, 4 Great Black backed Gull and 3 Sandwich Tern flew east and then back west, my latest ever seeing this species. There were 8 Great crested Grebe, 45 Red throated Diver, 1 Great Northern Diver offshore 47 Gannet, 95 Cormorant, 1 little Egret, 1 Peregrine, 4 Great Tit, 1 Cetti's Warbler, 1 Goldcrest, 2 Stonechat, 12 House Sparrow, 2 Pied Wagtail, 2 Meadow Pipit, 3 Chaffinch and 2 Goldfinch.
Sandwich Tern was a big surprise, and I think the brilliant male Stonechat image has my name on it!
ReplyDeleteCarry on recovering please Marc.
Pete.
Many thanks Pete. Slowly on the mend and birding seems to an excellent remedy to make me feel better. Take care.
