North Dene's

Better start with yesterday, as again the HOBBY flew over the house. If I catch up, I woke this morning to a male BLACKCAP in the garden. He seemed to stay much of the day. I took a walk with the boy through Gunton wood with only a pair of BLACKCAP again. The female was more obliging with distinct  very grey legs. I then headed for Links Hill and sat on the wall for a sea watch. 4 GANNET, three adult and one second cal. 4 RED-THROATED-DIVER. 1 GREAT SKUA. 2 MEDITERRANEAN GULLS adult birds showing smidgen behind eye. What was interesting was a family of 5 COMMON TERNS that sat in a long line in the water. Three young birds showing the black upper wing bar and adults at the front heading into wind. So often you see them on a groyn and not resting on the water. Also 1 GUILLEMOT and 5 BRENT GEESE heading South and 1 North. Also picked up through scope 2 PORPOISE surfacing offshore.
