Frampton Marsh RSPB
3 hours this morning produced the following:
Reservoir
Ruddy Shelduck 8 - flew in at c.08.50, later flushed by farm tractor and flew towards the salt marsh Wigeon 78 Green Sandpiper 1 Little Owl 1
Reserve
Meadow pipit 500+ Tree Pipit 1 Yellow wag 40+ Slav Grebe 1 still on the sea bank pool Linnet 200+ Goldfinch 200+ Swallow 100+ Sand Martin 4 Wheatear 2 Willow warbler 3
Not quite Gib Pt totals, but still a substantial number of passerines, probably underestimates in view of the amount of cover now available for the finches and pipits.
