Pale-bellied Brent goose 26 - No sign of any Brent geese on both the north and south side feeding areas when you would normally expect them. But 26 flew past the Heliport and ended up at Potts Corner.
South shore
Red-throated diver 1 distant on incoming tide (Pete)
Shag 1 at least on the wooden jetty towards high water.
Cormorant 55 on the wooden jetty including a ringed bird that was unfortunately too distant to read.
I originally thought this to be a red ring (Malcolm), but my pictures suggest orange |
Rock Pipit 5 at least- one each near the waterfall, the lighthouse and Red Nab. Two on the saltmarsh
There were at least two on Red Nab when Janet checked later |
Wigeon feeding right up to the shoreline at the saltmarsh |
Reed Bunting 1 at the saltmarsh
Imperial Rd

Just out of the recording area - Middleton Parish Hall
Both the Glossy Ibis and the Green Sandpiper were feeding in the horse paddock and adjacent field, when Pete and Jean checked this morning.
These shots, also from this morning, by Edward Wilkinson provide some nice plumage detail
