2018 has certainly gotten off to a slow start for me. A combination of work load, flu within the family and poor weather have all conspired to stop me getting out much.
The Hawfinch that graced the garden for just over three months, finally seems to have moved off, being last seen six days ago and other than a visiting Brambling or two, it's been very quiet in the garden.
Today I managed to get in a round walk between Seaton and Seaton Hole in the drizzle with Jake. A couple of Black Redstart were seen along the beach between Seaton Hole and Seaton, including a smart male - presumably the same bird I found back on 4th November last year, though only the female posed for photos today.

Brightening things up a little was a Grey Wagtail picking insects off the pebbles at Seaton Hole end of the beach.

On the way back I did a quick check of the gulls building up in numbers just north of Coronation Corner but there was nothing of note, not even a med. Fingers crossed the recent Caspian and/or Glaucous Gulls will make a return visit soon.
