Froward from 7:30am with @jacob-wood.bsky.social. Wheatear 3, spotted flycatcher 2, single sedge and willow warbler amongst good numbers of chiff, blackcap and firecrest. Highlight a juvenile Dartford warbler around bottom of Froward Cove (thanks Jake). Several lesser emperors #devonbirds #ukbirding

Froward, 6:30am onwards. Relatively quiet for grounded migrants so far but a few linnet and meadow pipit on the move overhead. Presumed same wryneck as last week(?) top of Froward Cove, just south of bench. A handful of Manx with a couple of Balearic offshore #devonbirding #UKbirding

Froward Point, 6:30am-12.30pm. Good numbers of chiffchaff, blackcap & firecrest west through the scrub for a couple of hours this morning. Unsurprisingly no sign of Jake’s ortolan at the top of Froward Cove either but wryneck on the coast path at the bottom some consolation. #devonbirding #ukbirding

Bluesky will crucify this poor image, but during badly-timed optics cleaning session these 11 went high south over Hillhead, Brixham. Managed pics thinking glossy ibis but they’re cormorants and proportions look off. Please someone tell me they’re just great cormorants #ukbirding #devonbirds
