Stretching the boundaries

Yesterday a Purple Sandpiper was reported on Devon Birds between Sprey Point and Holcombe. It's chosen rocks are just outside the northern boundary of the recording area, and as it is a very rare bird on patch, hopefully it will venture south in the coming weeks. There was no sign however in a quick look from the yacht club this morning. Offshore there were 10-15 Gannet along with the usual Shag and Cormorant. Two or three Harbour Porpoise heading south close in were unexpected.

Elsewhere a Black Redstart was on the roofs of houses at the junction of Exeter and Gloucester Road. If you time the traffic lights you may be able to see it whilst queueing!
