Above - Boulmer from the north...
Another 'brisk' day to put it politely. The day started off not too badly really but deteriorated by lunch time. It was generally dull with brighter spells and a strong SW 5 increasing 6.
A seawatch from Seaton Point this morning had 6 Gannets N, 11 Wigeon S, 1 Guillemot S and a probable Fulmar but it was too distant and it kept disappearing into troughs in the waves.
40 Linnets, 2 Stonechats and 2 Mistle Thrushes were at Seaton Point House.
A couple of Mute Swans were on the pond with an assortment of Gulls, Crows and Waders but no sign of any white wings...
As the weather was not very good for anything really I took the car along the track to the north of the village and did this painting in my sketch book. You can see how the paper buckled when wet giving the 'striped' impression to the sky. I might 'do it up' at home on proper paper and stick a Peregrine in there somewhere...
73. Guillemot.
