More excellent birding this morning: 70 Golden Plover, 100 Lapwing, 150 Song Thrush, 100 Redwing, 20 Fieldfare, 4 Snipe, 4 Mistle Thrush, Teal, 7 Cirl Bunting, Merlin (Male), Sparrowhawk, Redshank. About 1500 Skylark in the big stubble field - I trawled through them for nearly an hour before finding 2
Woodlark feeding very much by themselves on the western edge of the field.
Note: the last bit of the hill down to the beach car park is not really passable in a car - park at end of Mewstone Avenue and walk the last 500m or so to the car park.
Mondays Med Gull (4V7) (still here today) was ringed near Nantes in France in June 2009 and was seen at Mount Batten in September 2010.
