Counted 113 Black-tailed Godwits on the scrape this morning, In the reserve a recalcitrant Cetti’s Warbler allowed millisecond views whilst shouting really loudly from no more than 10 feet away! 1 Chiffchaff, only 2 Redwing today. Skylark flew over. Late afternoon visit to a very stormy sea at Down End was productive: 2 Ravens over, 2 Common Scoter and an Eider, all females dodging the waves just off the point. And annoyingly Frog Lane is only a stone’s throw away from my house in Braunton…. (See earlier post re Red Kites).
