After being at work all morning I was at a bit of a loss as to where to take Tristan this afternoon, but as the weather was actually better than forecast Ellie and I thought we'd all go out for the afternoon and headed down to the coast and Mudeford Quay, this also enabled us to pay a surprise visit to "the in-laws"!
Arriving at Mudeford just after 3.00pm we took a walk around the quay however, it was really windy so we moved the car so that it overlooked the sea and whilst Ellie sat in the warmth of the car I did a spot of seawatching. The wind was causing quite a swell but eventually I picked out an adult male Long-tailed Duck as it flew in from the east and settled on the water briefly before doing another fly past. Two female Eiders also flew through.
There was nothing else that I could see out on the water and another walk about produced a single Rock Pipit and very little else of note. So we headed off and went for a cup of tea with Tristan's grandparents!
