SEA WATCHING !!!

This morning I went down to Exmouth to see what was showing in the bay & I saw numerous Adult & Juvenile NORTHERN GANNET all flying south & a few KITTIWAKE were in with then , then I got my first GREAT SKUA of the year which was then followed by another year tick for me a nice SOOTY SHEARWATER , the watch was finished off with a dark phase ARCTIC SKUA , there was also a Long Tailed Skua seen in the bay but I couldn`t connect with it ( What a shit ) .
I then had a look at the Exe Estuary at Mudbank Lane but all I saw were about 200+ WIGEON & this solitary LITTLE EGRET .
