Seaton Sluice
An hours sea watch at Seaton Sluice, after work, proved fruitful with six of my favourite bird; a party of Manx Shearwaters heading south displaying their banking and shearing manoeuvres using their elegant long slim wings. No sign of any Skuas today, so something for me to watch out for next week. The light was great today, and Guillemots were out in good numbers. I only recorded a few Gannets, and Kittiwakes, and there was no sign of any Eider, however there was plenty of Sandwich Terns.
Holywell Pond
The pond was a lot livelier than my visit a couple of week’s ago, however the appearance of an Otter on that occasion was a great surprise and great to witness. There was no Otter today, however the pond was full of life with ducklings and goslings and lots of Magpies. At the public hide, there was a Common Sandpiper, and a Grey Heron. There was also a report in the logbook of a Hobby.
