Lydstep to Manorbier

Lydstep was quiet blown out in the strong easterly early morning. Little of note there except a steady trickle of Meadow Pipits moving east into wind (79 in about 45 mins) and 8 Chiffchaffs. 

Manorbier beach had 16 Turnstone and 11 Oystercatcher on the reef. Another 4 Chiffchaffs around the car park.

Finished up around Skrinkle. The highlight a male Black Redstart just west of the RAF range above Presipe beach. 

Oh and an immature Goshawk flew north over the road between Manorbier and Lydstep first thing.
