LRP, BLH


I could only find one Broad-leaved Helleborine along Wright's Lane this afternoon.

Too much west in the wind for it to be any good for sea-watching  today but a Little Ringed Plover was on the beach, by the lifeboat station, shortly after 530am. Frustratingly I didn't actually see it until it took off, calling. They breed just beyond the Exmouth parish boundary but this is only my third record within Exmouth itself. Otherwise a single Mediterranean Gull off there, along with 3 Common Scoters, 1 Curlew, 3 Sandwich Terns and 2 Black-headed Gulls.
On Cockle Sands - on the tiniest patch of mud as the tide dropped - 2 Common Terns and 9 Sandwich Terns. Also a single Mediterranean Gull on a very brief look.
