Sadly the early morning blue skies and sun, gave way to another dreary day, and of course I got the wrong side of midday when the clear skies were disappearing off to the east.
The beach was busy again with holiday visitors and this was the first time I didn't see either the Black Redstart or Stonechat. Both the Grey and Pied Wagtails were here and there was also a second Pied Wagtail.
Main highlight here though were 2 Chiffchaffs making their way along the Hebes on the north cliff, one with orangey yellow legs.
The "Rock" Robin was in his usual spot and there were several Wrens about. On the beach were 20+ Rock Pipits and a pair of Carrion Crows.
A return walk through Penns Wood and though quiet on the way down, on the way back up there were at least 3 Goldcrests, a small party of Long-tailed Tits and another Chiffchaff.
Here are a few images from today:
This is one of the two Chiffchaffs making its way along the Hebes on the north cliff.
Not sure why it has yellowish legs, maybe just the light conditions!!
The overwintering Grey Wagtail is still here and was joined by two Pied Wagtails today.
One of the 20+ Rock Pipits feeding on the Kelp Flies.
An adult Winter Herring Gull.
