JAN 6TH 2013 - UK NEW YEAR LIST

AXMOUTH, SEATON (LYME BAY) & LYME REGIS, ALL IN DEVON

YEAR LIST NOW STANDS AT 80

Another dull overcast day with very fine drizzling rain (how nice), the good weather lasted only two days.

Nevertheless Dawn and I set off for Seaton to walk along the sea front before driving the short distance to Lyme Regis for lunch.

At the beach it stopped raining and the sea was very calm, but there were hardly any birds out there! It took quite a lot of searching before I found a solitary  Northern Gannet. We walked to the southern end of the bay and eventually found a number of birds out on the water. The best was Red-throated Diver (1), Razorbill (2), Shag (4) and Great crested Grebe (14).

 Along the river Axe on the way out of town we stopped to view the gull roost where we saw: Oystercatcher, Redshank, Bar-tailed Godwit and all 5 of the common types of gull.

When we arrived at Lyme Regis the rain began again I walked along the breakwater called the 'Cob' where I found Rock Pipit (5), Pied Wagtail (2) and the lovely Purple Sandpiper (7).

Purple Sandpipers are a very reliable and an obliging species at Lyme Regis





We ate a light lunch before driving home through thick fog and drizzling rain.
