A really good looking day
with a light easterly breeze and plenty of cloud cover (which gave way to light
rain for a short while) given more promise by a calling Yellow-browed Warbler at the lighthouse early morning. There were a few bits on the sea (until the
rain came) including a Black-throated Diver, 21 Red-throated Divers, 59
Cormorants, 8 Velvet Scoter, 8 Red-breasted Merganser, a Common Tern and a
Black Guillemot while 9 Sparrowhawks and 3 Kestrels also went south.
The area then had a few signs of a typical autumn day
with the first few Redwings along with general increases in Goldcrests and Song
Thrushes but there was actually little else as birds included a Hobby hunting low across the fields
just beyond Lebeltet Nord, 2 Goshawks,
a calling Black Woodpecker, 4
Redstarts, 3 Tree Pipits and a few more Sparrowhawks and Kestrels.
Just a couple of records shots of the Hobby as it zoomed about at a million miles an hour!
