New Quay Birds Rock

 Today's 2 hour Dolphin Watch from Birds Rock produced a group of 3 adult and 1 juvenile bottlenose dolphins, plus a nice selection of birds. 

Highlights included one whimbrel, 3 common scoter (male), one Arctic skua (dark phase), 4 chough, several Med gulls, kittiwake, plenty of close gannets, and distant auks.  Also seen were sand martin, house martin and swallow, meadow pipits and goldfinch.
