Exmouth

Orcombe Point - 815-10am - utterly freezing again this morning with some cold weather movement and at last a (dreadful) photo of a lapland bunting. I've had at least eight individuals this autumn but this is the only one I've got close enough to to photograph and I nearly lost my fingers to frostbite in the process!

golden plover 70+, lapwing 110+ (all moving west), snipe 5, song thrush 6+, fieldfare 1, goldfinch 7+, skylark c100+, curlew 18+, yellowhammer 1 (much rarer than laps on Orcombe Point), starling 4, lapland bunting 1, peregrine 2, sparrowhawk 1+
