Watch out for: Waders, Pintail, Common Gull & Swans.
To be honest we hit this site all wrong because we had not looked at the tides, defiantly a lesson to be learnt there for when you are visiting any site where you want to study birds feeding on the silt.
However, on the positive side it did lend its self to some opportunities to photograph ducks on the water quite close (see previous Goldeneye post).
Getting down to business there were, as predicted, quite a few Goldeneye and Pintail on the water, Black & Mute Swan very close on the road side and on a small watery margin a couple of Knot & Oystercatchers, you will see many more and Godwits when the tide is out. Finally we checked out the Gulls to find Common & Lesser & Greater Black-backed.
Life bird count: 399. Year bird count: 81. Month bird count: 81.
