Rain Damage.

9/8/09.

Jays in trees by village hall this morning (5) a family group.
Finches now starting to form flocks for the winter , a mixed flock of Greenfinches & Chaffinches by Chygurnow.
Gannets in good numbers off Carn Barges, adults & young of various ages, also a brief sighting of a Dolphin.
There are no young Fulmars on the nest ledges again this year ,down on one of the nest sites so there has been a chick but may have been predated, Gt Black Back ?.
Two Grey Wagtails along shoreline on the way back to the cove also Rock Pippits.
There has been a big build up of sand in the cove unlike last year when there was almost none.
Walked up through the woods and was struck by the number of branches broken off the trees
probably by the weight of rain.
