After yesterday great hawl at the warren(for somebody) ,I was hoping it was going to be a good day for me, and with one of the wardens(thanks Dale) managed the highest count of sarnies so far this year.

There was a massive movement of Sarnies in the evening 100+ feeding and flying around. There were 42 on one of the sand bars off Exmouth at one point with 5 Commics, 2 of which were Commons Terns.

Also on the sea 2 Fulmars, Razors, Scoter and 2 Common Gulls could be found as well as 5 Whimbrel coming off the sea and landing on he beach by groyne 9.

Elsewhere Chiffs and Willows where again making themselves heard in the trees and bushes, while at least 2 Whitethroats were being aggressive, possibly fighting over territories. 6 Swallow, 1 Blackcap also made an appearance to make it really seem like summer is on its way.

I also saw 3 speckled woods around the 1st pond.

On the way home I noticed a number of Martins feeding around Cockwood harbour.
