First warm day

Today we reached 27 degrees C at 5pm (the highest temperature since I arrived on May 15th) but three hours later it was back to a breezy 15 degrees.  I have been spoilt and will suffer when I leave Race Rocks and face real heat. Just 6 more sleeps :(

Wildlife notes

The highlights of the day were the 9 pelicans doing a flyby, another harbour seal pup on East Beach and finally, photo confirmation of the least sandpiper. The seal pup was tiny and had different face markings than the last ones at East Beach so it could be a new addition. I sat on the rocks below the compost pile for a while watching it struggle to move higher up the beach to escape the rising water. Sitting still with the flies also gave me a chance photograph the least sandpiper.
