had a look at the sea off the stony beach this morning. nice to actually see some birds on the go. heavy passage of commics, and year ticks in the form of 1 pom, 1 black tern, 15 little terns and some swifts. on 1st  i watched off splash point and had a couple of year ticks - 3 manx and 2 eider. now i am going back to work  the forecast looks good for the next few days.
