11th September 2017

I rang Jack last night and persuaded him that a seawatch this morning could be brilliant. Strong winds up the channel, good numbers of seabirds further west along the coast, overcast conditions so no problem with the light, what could possibly go wrong? We didn't make 10 species, the light was terrible and it rained just to add insult to injury. 150 Sandwich Terns, 19 of which were resting on the beach, a Curlew and a Harbour Porpoise. Not sure I will be able to convince anyone again that a seawatch is a good idea.
