A Slight Shift In Things


Which may have had something to do with the mistyfog lurking about the place.

Saturday morning was slightly different to Friday afternoon [odd, that].


Another Brixham Trawler

See? Different.

Note the aforementioned mistyfog. Actual reduced visibility gave seawatching potential, and as the Teacher was on site, we decided to sit down on the Steps and give the sea a little time. 
Turned into an hour and ten minutes [would have been more, but he had places to go and birthday cake to eat {oh yes, I know the truth! ;) } ].

Scores [all S unless noted];
Gannet  66
Kittiwake  8
Fulmar  3
Guillemot  3
Auk sp.  6
Swallows  12
Arctic Skua  1 [adult light morph, inside Ore Stone]
Balearic Shearwater  6
'shearwater sp.' [Sooty. It was.]  1
commic tern  2
Sarnie  3
LBB  1
Common Scoter  3 [N]

Also a Wheatear...

Mobile about the Sole

...A Blackcap and 11+ Chiffs.

Insects again notably active in numbers;

::Knock knock::
"Who's there?"

Ivy Bee!

Ivy Bee 
on... Ivy!!

Said there were lots out.

Silver Y 
still plentiful

"No, no, look at me;
I'm hovering! I'm a Rough-leg, honest!"

::To Buzzard:: "Er.. what about the obvious?'
::Buzzard:: "Well, there was this escaped Tasmanian Devil..."

Ahem.


Be Seeing You...
