Er, Yeah. Stuff To Report On.

It's the mostcrazyful time of the year, so this will be short and to the point.

No, really.

Friday and I zipped off after work and found a) Warleigh Point DWT [which is very nice] and b) the Velvet Scoter lurking in proximity to it.

Velvet showed very well, and scarfed five not at all small crabs while I was there. Legs and all.

I was impressed.

Saturday, my head decided to foil my plans. This was extra vexatious as The Teacher found a Hawfinch ON THE DECK at the Nose.

I've never even had a flyover there. Or anywhere else on Patch.

Bugger.

Sunday. the head was behaving but I had Things to Do. I got to the Nose first anyway. Lots of Blackcaps, lots of Common Scoter, an few GNDs, one calling. Four Grey Seals, a few Common Dolphins. A Painted Lady was nearby, basking in the windy sunshine. Look at my socials.

😇

Up Exe way some time later and I found nothing particularly noteworthy, though lots of waders and a few Brents around, which is always nice.

Closer to Home,  [Right at it, as it happens] a female Blackcap has turned up [best thing that happened on Saturday]. She has a metal ring, which is not only upside down, but very hard to read as she naturally splits her time between trying to kill the male and terrorising everything smaller than a Blackbird... I have '..T075..' with the 5 a touch speculative.

That's it.

Be Seeing You...
