It was too good an opportunity to miss, and that was a trip to The Bill to watch the waves crashing into the headland, as Storm Herminia made its presence felt.
This was also the first time I was unable to get close to the Obelisk or the Pulpit, as the spray from the waves was pretty intense.
Unsurprisingly there weren't that many birds about and as you can see from the list below I only managed 10 species, which also included 12+ Shags which were desperately trying to get around the Bill and west into Lyme Bay.
Birds Recorded:
2 Gannet
2 Cormorant
12+ Shag
1 Kestrel
Herring Gull
8 Rock Pipit
Magpie
Carrion Crow
2 Raven
60+ Starling
