Seaton Area

Seawatch this morning (05:45 - 07:35) was very slow. Apart from about 60 Gannets (mostly E), just 3 Kitts, 3 Manxies and a distant Great Northern Diver W, plus a Whimbrel E. Around 15 Swallows came in-off. If it had been a bit more lively I would have stayed longer and maybe enjoyed the Orcombe Pom coming by?

Anyway, I didn't, and a quick look at the Colyford scrape on the way home for breakfast revealed 20 Dunlin, 4 Bar-tailed Godwits (all no doubt yesterday's birds) and a first-summer Med Gull.
