Penn's Weare
With very little about on land, it was an hour or so, sat on the cliffs along Penn's Weare for a sea watch. And there were quite a few birds out there and some fairly close in, with Gannet, Cormorant, Shag, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Common Gull, Kittiwake, Razorbill and Guillemot all recorded.

On my way to Penn's Wear I came across 2 Rock Pipits at Church Ope Cove and at the top of Penns Wood there were 3 White-tailed Bumblebees on the Mahonia.
Here are a few images and videos from today:
I need a bigger lens, but just off Church Ope Cove were at least 30 Razorbills.
