Added another 27, common bits and pieces but couldn't see anything in a few rockpools. Need to invest in a net and bucket me thinks.
Amongst what I did see were -
Centranthus ruber (Red Valerian) |
Petasites fragrans (Winter Heliotrope) |
Redshank |
Rock Pipit |
Pelvetia canaliculata (Channelled Wrack) |
Turnstone |
Dilsea carnosa (Red Rags) |
Ulva lactuca (Sea Lettuce) |
Most interesting thing was probably a Black-headed Gull. Well, it did have a colour ring on. A Dark-green inscribed in white JM67 and seems to have been recorded quite frequently. It had been rung at Mølledammen in Norway in April 2015 and seen there till July, seen here at Seaham in September & November 2015, back in Norway April-May 2016. Seaham again November 2016 and again now.
