BLACK GUILLEMOT

I was up early this morning & off to Stover Park to look for the Female SCAUP that has been seen there & after about half an hour the bird showed quite well , there was also some TUFTED DUCK & POCHARD showing as well , there was also 2 Male & 4 Female SISKIN , 2 NUTHATCH , 2 MARSH TIT & a GREEN WOODPECKER .
I then had a call telling me that there was a BLACK GUILLEMOT at Dawlish Warren so I made a mad dash to there in hope that it would hang around & I was in luck & see the bird on the sea in very rough weather with other GUILLEMOT but as luck would have it ! it then flew giving the best views of all , also seen was a GREAT NORTHERN DIVER , a BALEARIC SHEARWATER , 7 COMMON SCOTER & a VELVET SCOTER .
