Before long we were parked up at Exmouth and we walked round to the marina and area known as Shell Beach. A Black Redstart was seen on top of one of the apartment blocks, but it didn't hang around long. Scanning the gull I picked out an adult Little Gull and two Slavonian Grebes were also found (but we could not locate the Bonaparte's Gull).
With only ninety minutes of daylight remaining we decided to cut our losses and head back to Yeovil with the intention of seeing one of the wintering Yellow-browed Warblers. We arrived at Yeovil Open Space just as the light was failing, so I played a call and immediately a Yellow-browed Warbler flew in to a tree above us...result and a brilliant end to the day.
I ended up with a day list total of 82 species...not bad at all.
