Well we can't say we weren't warned, as Low Pressure moved across the UK and with it gale force winds and gusts around 54mph. Oh and did I mention the rain, nope well it was chucking down whilst I was out, when I got home and as I write isn't likely to ease until 11:00pm tonight.
So where did I go for a quick breath of fresh air, well it was Chiswell and to a very sheltered spot I know which looks along Chesil Beach.
Unsurprisingly there wasn't too much about, other than a handful of Herring Gulls, Great Black-backed Gulls and two Ravens patrolling the shoreline.
Well at least the waves crashing on the beach was impressive.
Birds Recorded:
Herring Gull
Great Black-backed Gull
2 Raven
One of a few Herring Gulls flying along the shoreline.
And another adult Herring Gull.
Most of the gulls were flying along the beach apart from these two Great Black-backed Gulls which were a good 50 metres out to sea. Later they did take off and join the other gulls patrolling the beach.
A few photos and videos of the waves smashing onto the beach.
