Fulmars - Observation 17 (13/06/2021)

Writer's picture: Sim ElliottSim Elliott

Updated: Jul 2, 2021

16.45-17.15


Weather: Temp: 21 C; wind 5 mph SW. Sunny


I walked from Saltdean to Ovingdean


From Saltdean to Rottingdean I saw 3 birds: 1 pair on cliffs, and 1 bird in flight


From Rottingdean to Ovingdean I saw no birds


Total birds seen: 3


This may have been an under count as it was a very bright sunny day and mostly white birds on white cliffs are very difficult to see on sunny days.


Little evidence of incubation; the [pair on cliffs may have been incubating eggs.


This was considerably less birds than on some other observations.
