Closer inspection revealed a rather late Barwit with a rather long bill.
Given the rather late date thought it may be interesting so hung around until it decided to take flight.
As the tide came in, rather than flying off it decided rather frustratingly to swim off!
It did eventually go to reveal a standard white rump with just a few markings
No Trumpeter Finches in the Obs quarry but there was a late Greenland type Wheatear which was a little shy at first but eventually came out.
Views of the auk colony can be obtained at the cliff edge by the MOD boundary fence.
It soon became apparent that if I got through the broken bit of the fence I could get a lot closer!
Better views of the other ledges also from here
