Thurlestone Bay

Very quiet weekend  took me some time on Monday  morning to realise a passage of Swift was moving through - 105 north in less than an hour.

Tuesday morning only a very wet Whimbrel on South Huish Marsh . What a change  this evening ., went down to the bay at 16.30 - the next 105 mins produced -

70 Gannet, 88 Manx Shearwater, 7 Fulmar, 12 Kittiwake, 6 Sandwich Tern, 1 Razorbill + 7 Auks. . a Great Skua flew east at 17.35
