Splash Point, Seaford, East Sussex
A couple of hours seawatching at Splash Point produced a decent show of birds, including sandwich and common terns, little gulls, black-throated diver, common scoter, gannets, sanderling and grey plover (including one in stunning summer plumage).
- Top of the show however went to the 3 pomarine skuas that came by just before I left at 10.15.
- Several arctic skuas and a "bonxie"(seen just after I arrived at 07.35) came a close second.
I missed out on the black tern - maybe I will have better luck on another day!
Additions to BUBO 2016 UK Year List:
Great Skua (199)
Pomarine Skua (200)
200 up! A total I didn't think I would reach this year so I can now sit back and enjoy the rest of the year.
