Broadsands

Dashed down to Broadsands when I heard Lee Collins had seen a Sooty Shearwater close in at Dawlish Warren but it didn't come my way! Hundreds of Razorbills and another big gull feeding frenzy off Brixham with 70+ Gannets feeding and sat on water. 2 Black-necked Grebes but the bay was too choppy today to check properly.

8 Cirl Buntings on seed with 5 Reed Buntings 2 collybita Chiffchaffs in marsh and 1 tristis Chiffchaff (see pictures above - quite a difference in colour in the photos from low down in cover and very dull light to up in open and still fairly dismal light).
