A rather windy start to the morning had post of the birds staying close to the trees choosing to hop between branches rather then be blown away. A few Pigeons braved the wind and were visibly struggling to keep to their preferred flight path.
Passing a bush that had Honey Suckle growing up it I stopped to smell the delicate little yellow flowers they smell very sweet and floral. Honey Suckle is one of my favourite scents so I highly encourage you to smell one when out walking in the park.
Entering the large cospe I notice a rather different spelling plant in flower. The Stinking Iris is in flower rather than smelling delightful and sweet it smells light marmite. This is to detour animals they may be looking to eat it from eating it.
Moving in the meadow I looked across the windswept grass and some Yellow Rattle and Common Spotted Orchids. In the next meadow a large patch of Common Spotted Orchids was in comparison to the last going over already.
When the wind died down some Sky Lark could be heard calling from a large clump of Hawthorn. In Oxide Daisy meadow a very pleasant sound of rattling could be heard coming from the Yellow Rattle that have gone to seed.
Walking down towards the cliffs past the mile markers a Gannet flies passed out to see heading west. I meet Hamish along the coast path who informs me he has seen some Kittiwake, Sandwich Terns and Common Terns.
A large group of Herring Gulls could be seen making quite the scene out to sea obviously excited about something possibly a school of Fish. Two Great Black Backed Gulls also joined I the frenzy. A Shag flies past at the same level as the top of the cliffs, when usually I see them flying close to the water.
