Local Lull....

Things have definitely quietened down locally but a quick jaunt to Budleigh Salterton on business today allowed me the opportunity to make a brief stop at Seaton and Axmouth on the return journey home. Although pretty quiet it was the first cold, sunny day we've had in a while and I was rewarded with a Sandwich Tern close in to shore feeding in the bay and a nice adult winter Med Gull among the Black Headed Gulls on the river.
