The day kicked off on with a whistle stop tour of Morrisons car park, where we popped into the 'cafe ala crud' for a instant black coffee and to steal some sugar. A Black Headed Gull was parked on top of a lamppost and some other dreary things pottered around. Not the greatest of birding spots, but their donuts are excellent. Anyway, on to Agnes.
This trip included St Agnes Head and Newdowns Head and the walk began with a Kestrel showing well; 'will hover for food'. More walking was done, but nothing much appeared. Plenty of Robins, Wrens and a gaggle of crows. The only Gannet in the ocean was seen flying off and Black Backed Gulls (mostly 1st's and the odd 2nd's) flew this way and a that way.
A solitary Stonechat appeared, flitting from one perch to another before buggering off and a pair of Grey Seals floated around in a calm of the watery section before heading out of view.
I was also licked and pounced to death by a young, white boxer (dog!) called Patch. If you are the dogs owner, is he available for early evening sessions?
Fin.
