Went on an extra birdwatching sortie to Freiston Shore to see how high a 6.5 high tide gets, and also to see if it assisted my shorebird ID skills. Didn't get as far in as I thought it would, and still had difficulty seeing the birds up close in my bins. How big does a tide have to be (in x.x terms) before I see birds on the shore clearly? Species seen: Possible Merlin heading in the direction of Kirton Marsh A couple of hundred Oystercatcher on the mud 50 Lapwing 30 Redshank 2 Little Egrets 1 Grey Heron 10 Little Grebe 1 Chaffinch 2 Skeins of Brent Geese Usual Mallards 50 Shelduck 4 Blackbirds 1 Wren Many Tree Sparrow Many House Sparrow 3 Magpies Pheasant in fields B-H Gulls Few Herring Gulls No soul-pouring today - dinner's ready! |
