Stormy visit to Berry Head



At the end of the Taunton cricket festival week we stayed on for an extra couple of days on the coast. After a great day at Lyme Regis in the sunshine, a large storm was forecast for the Sunday morning so I headed down to Berry Head in Devon.

A good number of birders were present to see a great set of sea birds pass the coast at various distances. Sea birds are an area I've striving to improve with my identification skills so was glad a number of local birders were on hand to help the sea bird novices. The storm was not as bad as first forecast however sightings included a Great Shearwater, a steady flow Manx Shearwater and Gannets, 4 Balearic Shearwater, 1 Arctic Skua and many Fulmars.
