Dawlish And The Warren - 29.8.10

As yesterday was spent travelling down to Devon and then getting some sleep, today was spent in Dawlish. A half hour boat ride just offshore saw a lot of Shags with some Cormorants, a couple of Fulmars but a Peregrine on the cliff face was the highlight. Later a wander round Dawlish Warren produced 2 year ticks in the shape of a Greenshank and a few Bar-Tailed Godwits. A single Knot was seen with a few Sanderling and 22 Little Egrets were scattered over the estuary. A Clouded Yellow butterfly was seen on the walk back to the car park and was my first of the year.
