Pretty much the same.......but with moving pictures

A very strong east wind with occasional light showers.

South shore - Malcolm 11 - 12:15
Nature Park
Kevin was right the Goldcrests are finding invertebrates amongst the woodchip piles near the small anemometer. Only one seen today though.


Goldcrest


Watched over by a female Bullfinch 

Along the sea wall
Rock Pipit 2 - this one also finding small invertebrates concentrated by the wind

Wigeon 290 waiting for the tide to reach Red Nab
Just some of the Wigeon between the outfalls

Some were feeding at the base of the sloping wall

Pale-bellied Brent geese 32 arrived at Red Nab 

Shelduck 1
Little Egret 1
There were lots of Cormorants, but no Shag seen today

Some of the 65 Redshank. Look how flat the sea is despite the very strong 
wind. Being an offshore wind, the waves haven't had time to develop close in.
