RED-FLANKED BLUETAIL SEEN AGAIN .
Today I went down to Berry Head again for a sea watch but again it was rather slow with only the following birds seen , numerous GANNET & KITTIWAKE
4 COMMON SCOTER , 4 ARCTIC SKUA , 1 GREAT SKUA & a single MANX SHEARWATER .
On the land the following birds were seen , a PEREGRINE FALCON
a Male & 3 Female BLACK REDSTART , 2 ROCK PIPIT & 20+ REDWING .
I then went & had some dinner & came out again for another look & refound the RED-FLANKED BLUETAIL !! I saw a bird feeding on the ground with its back to me & thought it was just another Robin but as I got closer it turned its head & I saw that it had a light eye-ring , I then got good views of its blue tail as the bird then flew off deeper into the wood on the right hand side of the Berry Head Hotel .
I then went down to Brixham Harbour & saw this GREAT NORTHERN DIVER , a RAZORBILL & an Atlantic Grey Seal .
