Yesterday I visited Groomsport and walked towards Brigg’s Rocks. The journey was quite taxing in the stifling heat however some nice photo opportunities made it worthwhile. Plenty of Cormorants that were sat on rocks with outstretched wings allowed me to get close enough for some decent pictures. I had a similar opportunity with a shag and further along I was able to get some juvenile and parent Stonechats from a reasonable distance. There were lots of Sandwich Terns and a few Black Guillemots near the car park. Linnets were also numerous as well as Common Gulls and even Great-Black Backs. There was one Carrion Crow which is probably a hybrid Hooded Crow. There were flocks of Oystercatchers and Redshanks but they were quite jumpy and didn’t allow for any great photos. The heat haze also hindered photography but here are my best efforts.
