Wandering down to the Real Living Coast in hope of Sandpipers Purple, I found 7. Which was good. I also found some Turnstone, roosting on the boulders. On quite a few boulders, as there were quite a few Turnstone. 'Quite a few'? Try 108, folks. That's a fair few for there [though you'll get that way on a good day on Preston Parade] Certainly far too many to get into photos, at least without risking disturbing them, which I was not going to do.
So here are a few glimpses,
Turnstone, on the rocks
Sea a bit frisky
They were well-scattered
Sandpipers Purple!
Also,
If the light wasn't so awful...
A surprising number of birds in the north end of the Bay, with 8 GND [including 2 in the Outer Harbour], 1 RTD, and 4 GCG, along with a scattering of Guillemots.
A seal in same Harbour looked quite convincingly like a Common, but vanished under the surface before I could get a clear shot and frustratingly did not reappear in view.. BUGGER.
Slightly more helpful; spot the grebe,
Ok, not that hard
Elsewhere and closer to,
Blooming Alexander.!
Three-cornered Garlic
Summer Snowflake
[yes, in January. Welcome to Devon]
Lesser Periwinkle
Greater Periwinkle
Perhaps inevitably,
it all ended in Violets
Be Seeing You...
