Firecrest

Seawatching from Teignmouth yacht club from 08:00-09:20 this morning produced a Great Northern Diver, 3 Arctic Skuas, 2 skua sp, 12 Sandwich Terns, 6 Common Scoters, 150+ Gannets and a dozen Common Gulls all heading south. I followed this up with walk around The Ness where a Firecrest was calling briefly in a holm oak behind Shaldon Zoo.
