A worthwhile visit to the patch this morning, starting with a
Bonxie and a
Fulmar during a short seawatch, along with 16
Gannets and two
Sandwich Terns. During an amble around the Gap, a
Hobby appeared overhead, representing a well overdue patch tick, and two separate
Painted Ladys were a treat. The tide was out as I began to head home but a scan of the beach only revealed a lone
Oystercatcher.
