An enjoyable walk was had today by a pleasing 18 participants [thanks folks!], on a Club trip, from Rest Bay to Sker Point and back. An unexpected treat was a Dartford Warbler, first spotted by Jean Carlson as we were watching a pair of Stonechats on gorse, across the road from the car park! An interesting bit of info which not everyone knows is that vagrant ‘Dartfords’ often associate with Stonechats. Highlights at Sker Point were c.150 Golden Plover, a few Purple Sandpipers, lots of Turnstone and Oystercatcher and a Ringed Plover and a Knot. A Mediterranean Gull I got flight shots of by the car park had a yellow leg ring but none of my shots show the code clearly enough. See the bottom LH image.
Diligent scanning by Alan Rosney got him on to a Diver going up channel but it was too distant to ID to species.
Edit: I’ve added in a couple of photos by Cindy Howells, one of 2 adult Great Black-backed Gulls, and another of a Curlew at Sker Point. I’ve taken the liberty of cropping both images [with permission].
