Silver-studded Blue - Bicton Common. Was really starting to think these had gone from the usual local sites so a relief to find a couple this afternoon.
Mudbank on this morning's rising tide - 7+ Mediterranean Gulls, 8 Sandwich Terns, 10 Curlew, 1 Whimbrel, 6 Turnstones, 9 Mute Swans and 2 Great Crested Grebes. A feeding flock of gulls, distantly off the seafront, held at least 15 Mediterranean Gulls and a Cirl Bunting was in song some way away from the usual breeding spot on Orcombe Point.
12/6 - a twenty minute look off the lifeboat station produced a pale phase Arctic Skua, adult summer Mediterranean Gull, 3 Black-headed Gulls and 3 Manx Shearwaters. Off the Imperial rec - 7 Sanderling, 2 Sandwich Terns and 7 Black-headed Gulls.
11/6 - Orcombe Point early on - 2 Great Northern Divers over, a juvenile Stonechat, the singing male Cirl Bunting, 5+ Swifts, 3 Coal Tits and 20+ Common Scoters past. A look off the lifeboat station after work revealed 1 Common Tern and 7 Sandwich Terns.
