Hi,
a quick march around the reedbed, scrapes and wet grassland at Frampton Marsh this morning produced:
Mute swan 9 Brent goose 860 Greylag goose 36 Mallard 137 Shoveler 26 Gadwall 67 Pintail 21 Wigeon 123 Teal 666 Tufted duck 26 Pochard 5 Goldeneye 3 Lapwing 1130 Golden plover 3000+ Redshank 1 Hen harrier 1 (m) Peregrine 2 (m&f)
an even quicker march around the wetland at Freiston produced:
Whooper swan 1 (over) Brent goose 350+ Mallard 142 Shoveler 16 Wigeon 1100+ Teal 284 Merlin 1f Eider 2 m&f (Cut End) Scaup 5 2m 3f (Cut End) Goldeneye 3 1m 2f (reservoir) Oystercatcher 1500 (Cut End) Black-tailed godwit 950+ Bar-tailed godwit 23 (Cut End) Redshank 36 Curlew 180+ Lapwing 3100 (1000 on wetland 2100 on mudflats at Cut End) Golden plover 4650+
Nice to see more than 4000 lapwing, and over 7000 golden plover across both sites.
Cheers,
Simon.
