The birding turned out to be pretty quiet, but it was just so lovely to be out in some decent sunshine.
I did see one year tick today, but no photo as these Common Scoter were only to be seen through a scope whilst sea-watching!
Other birds seen today were quite a few Northern Wheatears starting to make their migration south and one lone Yellow Wagtail. Shorebirds consisited on many Ringed Plover and Dunlin and one Curlew at Ferrybridge. My camera is playing up at the moment, so the only photographs I was able to take today were with my normal 16-55mm lens. There were some fabulous cloud formations, some of which I shall save for Sky Watch Friday, but here are a couple....

What lovely photos and such a beautiful shade of blue!! Sounds like a wonderful day Jenny!
Glad you got out in the sunshine at last Jenny. Portland is a marvellous place to see the migration of birds to and from UK to various destinations South.
Wish we could have some of that fine weather,
Sounds like you had a great day and those clouds are lovely!
It was a beautiful day - wasn't it; idyllic. Wonderful captures of clear, blue sky. Looking at these makes me smile.
Howdy Eve. Yep, it was a lovely day and that blue is true! (-:
Hi Roy, I know you visited Portland area recently. I love birding there, specially the west cliffs when the seabirds are on the cliffs.
Hi Alan, I'll shove some of our fine weather your way, we haven't had much of it either! (-:
Hi Mary. Thanks, it was sooooo good to see some sunshine! (-:
