South shore (Malcolm)
I did exactly the same walk as yesterday at exactly the same stage of the tide. The weather was ideal for viewing, but little turned up to be viewed!
Not quite a sunrise, just the low sun shining below a blanket of low clouds. |
Where there were thousands of waders yesterday there was just a handful today.
One Bar-Tailed Godwit |
A Knot and an Oystercatcher |
60 Oystercatcher were the only "plentiful" wader feeding here
There were thousands of waders just south of the recording area, mainly Knot and Dunlin, no Sanderling visible.
Bar-Tailed Godwit 220 ended up just about on the limit of the recording area.
There was a steady passage of waders flying through the recording area to join the birds further south.
Curlew 14 in ones and two
Grey Plover 13 in small groups
A nice mixed flock, 2 Knot, 2 Dunlin, 4 Grey Plover and a Bar-Tailed Godwit |
