As well as Birdwatchers, we welcome people from many areas of interest including Moths, Butterflies, Bugs and Beetles or just a general interest in Nature and the local environment.

11th January

More wind and rain for most of the day. The morning seawatch produced 203 Gannets, a Great Skua, 16 Little Gulls and 109 Kittiwakes whilst the first-winter Caspian Gull was still present and two Little Gulls were feeding at the Patch in the afternoon.

Every time I see this bird I say to myself enough is enough, I am not going to take any more pictures, but it is hard to resist when it shows so well.
