The last day of the Easter weekend, and Ellie and I headed off for the coast and spent a few hours at Dawlish Warren. We took the long walk out along the sand dunes to the hide where we saw very little! A Great Northern Diver was in the channel, but the only waders around were Oystercatchers and Curlews.
As we wandered back to the car the only things of note were a male Stonechat and a singing Skylark.
Ellie then sat in the car and read the paper for fifteen minutes whilst I did a little bit of sea-watching. Out to sea I did see a single Fulmar and a Sandwich Tern, but the scoter flock was rather distant and I could not pick out the Velvet or Surf Scoter amongst the Common Scoters.
UK list for 2010 now at 162 species.
