TIME: 14:30 - 17:00 WEATHER - Wild, Wet and Windswept! Star Performers - the six-or-so baby Avocets emerging shyly from underneath Mummy Avocet taking their first few exploratory nibbles into the mud etc..! Aww..... OTHER SPECIES SEEN: Canada Goose - usuals around the reserve Canada/Greylag hybrid young, with Canada/Greylag parents & 1 fully-grown canada/Greylag hybrid Brent Goose - 3 flocks on wetland (well, everywhere was wet!) Mallards - usuals around the reserve Tufted Duck - 2 M, 2 F Shelduck - few on wetland and more on salt marsh Shoveler - 1 on reservoir Black-headed Gull - loads on nests, with lots of young now hatched and growing Greater Black-backed Gull - 3 flying around or getting buffeted by wind Herring Gull - 3 over lagoon Oystercatcher - about 25 dotted around lagoon, with a pair mating! Ringed Plover - 1 Redshank - 2 Little Egret - 2 Cormorant - 3, with 2 adopting wing-drying pose at various points. 1 seen diving in lagoon later. Pied Wagtail - 2 Starling - few small flocks around with at least 6 young seen Wren - usual place near the little pumping station Swallow - lots getting blown around over wetland Blackbird - 5 House Sparrow - 4 Greenfinch - 2 F and 1 M on feeders Magpie - 1 After surviving gales-force winds and rain for 2.5 hours, I am beginning to suspect my endurance and hardiness as a birdwatcher have come on in leaps and bounds since I started life as a birder about 2 years ago..... or am I just a foolhardy masochist? |
