This is the Bathing House or Doctors House or whatever its called. Just a terriers walk along the road from home. Tonight I walked Bunty around the coastal path and back by the lane. A single, silent, Whimbrel was on the rocks here briefly before flying off north. Several Sandwich Terns and Gannets were offshore with the commoner Kittiwakes and Fulmars. A House Martin was with a dozen Swallows in the village while a Stock Dove sneaked onto the garden list as it flew over the back field this morning.

I know it as Bathing House, looking forward to seeing you an Bunty as extras when they film there next.
Is this part of your new patch then Stewart ? Have you sorted any boundaries, or do you just wander and record ?
I'm still hoping for a flyover whimbrel - not likely but just about possible!
I think Distant Shores is well behind us Alan....
Warren, yes this is definately in my patch, but you have hit the nail on the head, I'm not sure where 'my patch' is! I must get a defined area sorted and stick it out, but as I'm still 'new in' I'm hovering over the decision. Do you have any tips for me?
Stewart,
I would make your patch cover as many different habitats as you can. But make it fully walkable in 3-4 hours. Have at least one good sky-view, and in your case especially, one good sea view. Also see if you can put your house on your patch, then you can patch watch will still indoors!!!
Cheers Warren, I have a good sky watch from my kitchen window and good sea views about 300 yards away from home so I'm part way there! I'll get on to it....
