After vexing delays, I was finally in possession of transport [not mine, but hey] and I sped over to South Huish, in search of the incredibly showy Black Tern.
[I having singularly failed to get one seawatching, despite there being a few passing out there. Birds..]
I was first on site and found..
Well, a scattering of waders, a lot of water, a few hirundines, and oh yes;
Wheatear!
8 Barwits
A Whinchat, Curlew Sand, Com Sand, and 5 Yellow Wags were less helpful.
A Med Gull and 3 Little Egret were on the rocky foreshore with a few Oyks, and all three hirundines overhead, mostly Sand Martins. Also 4 Blackwit and 2 Dunlin; one on S Huish, one below South Milton Ley;
Looking worryingly unwell...
I gave the sea half an hour before my parking ran out [grr]
Arctic Skua 1
Balearic Shearwater 2
Gannet 39
LBB 3
BHG 16
Fulmar 1
As a visit, it wasn't bad - would have taken longer - but as a very fustrating dip....
Ahem.
Be Seeing You...
