Down south to Dale this afternoon, which began in the village where sadly yet again I've missed a Glossy Ibis. Will likely increase in coming years so they can't hide from me forever!
Next at St Anne's Head where in the wind it was almost devoid of birds, just eight species and thirty birds with 3 Guillemot and a Razorbill offshore the highlights. Much more exiting was a pod of at least 10 Bottlenose Dolphin which were lingering in and around the shelterd Watwick Bay. These were my first of this fantastic species.
Finaly a breif stop at the Gann at low tide where the shore was full of gulls, I estimated 450 Black-headed, 5 Mediterranean, 50 Common, 70 Herring, 50 Lesser, and 70 Great Black-backed Gulls. Otherwise quite quiet, exept for about 70 Wigeon which is one of my favorate species so nice to watch for a bit, and finaly 30 Teal, 3 Little Grebe, and a Greenshank.
