The last few weeks

The last few weeks have been quite quiet bird wise, but a few notable species have included a Jack Snipe flushed from the saltmarsh along with c.30 Snipe, a Kittiwake over the estuary on a stormy day, and my only Fieldfare of the winter on Friday last week.

Lapwing numbers have dropped right off now with only single figures on the saline lagoon and a couple on the breeding site on Deep Lake.

A couple of weeks ago the four Spotted Redshank were still around but just over the last week they seem to have disappeared.

This male Goldeneye showed well a few days ago after being brought in on the spring super tide.
