Church Ope Cove
I had a bit of wait today, as the morning rain dragged on into the afternoon. It eventually dried up and Ted and I headed down to the cove.
Main highlights were a pair of Oystercatchers in the north-east corner of the cove and on the way down five Robins singing as I made my way down the 151 steps from Rufus Castle to the cove.
Birds Recorded:
2 Oystercatcher
Herring Gull
Wood Pigeon
Dunnock
Robin
Blackbird
Long-tailed Tit
Great Tit
Blue Tit
Wren
Carrion Crow
Chaffinch
Goldfinch
