A day of heavy showers and the occasional burst of sunshine. Fortunately my walk this morning coincided with a brief interlude between the showers. The main reason for my visits to the Bill is in the hope of seeing a Red-throated Diver and of course the Purple Sandpipers. Unfortunately neither showed today, but there's always tomorrow.
Here are a few images from today:
One of the many Guillemots around The Bill.
One of the may small flocks of Guillemots leaving the West Cliffs in search of food in and around The Races.
Here two Razorbills lead the way with a Guillemot close behind.
Not too many Gannets about, this one was close in to the Pulpit.
One half of a large flock of Starlings by QinetiQ
