I thought I'd timed my walk perfectly today so that I would dodge the showers. How wrong was I and had I left it for another 30 minutes I'm sure I wouldn't have got a soaking. Needless to say birdwatching was pretty difficult and the best I could in the rain was 1 Goldcrest along the Mermaid Track and 2 Rock Pipits on the beach.
A Shag fishing just off the cove was good to watch as it dived down to catch its meal. It was difficult to see what it was catching, but whatever they were it was finding plenty.
Here are a few images from today:
This Shag was fishing just off the beach at Church Ope Cove.
It looks like it was successful, though it was a bit of an effort to swallow this fish.
I think this is Sea Fern, but I'm struggling to find anything about it. Maybe its called something else!!
