Spotting on the Boston Belle cruise today. 67 species in total. Highlights included:- Peregrine - 3 (all on Boston Stump) Marsh Harrier - 5 Kestrel - 2 Buzzard - 1 Pink-footed Goose - 3 Eider - 1 Sandwich Tern - 2 Common Sandpiper - 3 Turtle Dove - 1 Corn Bunting - 1 Barring a lone Great Crested Grebe and the odd Cormorant, The Wash itself was incredibly quiet. However, a big flock of Curlew at the mouth of the Welland was rather impressive. Good numbers of Turnstone and Grey Plover were further down as well, with the odd summer-plumaged Knot and a dashing Ruff amongst them. Plenty of Swift overhead throughout as well. |

Would it be worthwhile walking out to Witham Mouth at this time of year? Keen to do a final push towards my Year List target of 120. I'm currently at 117 and 3 species to go! |
