Despite less than favourable conditions, a 90 minute seawatch still turned up a Great Northern Diver, 140 Gannets, 16 Fulmars and 585 Auks.
Otherwise, Prawle has entered that 'between seasons' feel. Remnants of the winter included 8 Golden Plover, a Redwing and a Brambling, while some local movement was evident with 8 Canada Geese over (!) and 7 Shelduck in Horseley Cove. Also there, a drake Red-breasted Merganser and an adult Med Gull with almost complete hood. A chiffchaff was again on the seaweed, but as it was low tide and the Pipits were widely scattered, I failed to find any Water Pipits.
Around the village farmyards there is still a healthy flock of Yellowhammers, numbering 80+
