Sker rocks and back

Today me and my youngest daughter Kathryn went down to Sker for a walk with the dogs. There was a bit of migration passage overhead and I probably had my last Tree Pipit and Redstart of the year. We also had a couple of Whitethroat, Linnet and Stonechat going down and on the  shore off the cow pond was a Single Dunlin. The fields around Sker were full of Autumn Lady's Tresses, a new flower for me and I wished I had my small lens with me to take some photos. Once we had got to Sker it was coffee time and has I sat there I heard a bird calling overhead, it took a couple of minutes to sink in that it was a Chough. It landed on the rocks with some Carrion Crows a young crow rushed over to be fed by the Chough but it was spooked and it flew off towards Porthcawl but within ten mintues it was back and was feeding along the bank. It was flushed by a dog walker and flew a short distantance and carried on feeding. I also counted 94 Oystercatcher on the beach and 45 Turnstones on the rocks. I also saw two Little Egrets, a single Curlew and on the sea I had 3 Shelduck flying west and a single winter plumage Med Gull  flying east.

I found this fish box and I also wondered how did it end up here, it's from the Netherlands, but registered to a boat from Brixham in Devon. Last thing a good old rant I got to vistors centre and I needed the toilet but it was closed. The carpark was full as far as the road and you think how many of these people would have gone into the centre and maybe bought something or took interest in the Nature Reserve, I think any other organisation running this place and it would be a gold mine and because the council  are running it's a joke. I remember when I first started going there in the eighties there was a public toilet on the side off the carpark and it was handy for when centre was closed and where is it now been demolished to save money Sorry I will put a Tenner in the swear box for the christmas drink pmsl.
