Lyme Regis - Sun 18 Feb

A visit to the coast today and a family trip to Lyme Regis. Arriving mid-morning we started out with a trip out on to The Cobb, where on the rocks at the very end a small party of six Purple Sandpipers were present. We then took a walk back along the sea front where half a dozen Turnstones were noted and when we reached the far end of the front another seven Purple Sandpipers were seen.

Three adult Mediterranean Gulls were also noted and a Gannet was seen out to sea. A single Stonechat was noted and Rock Pipits seemed to be everywhere.

Unfortunately as the day progressed the weather worsened so as we were starting to get pretty wet we called it a day and headed home. Still, I managed to pick up a few year ticks, not bad considering it was a family trip out.
