The Lesser Whitethroat was again in scrub along the coast path this morning.
Orcombe Point first thing - 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Yellow Wagtails, 2 Grey Wagtails, 1 Curlew and 1 Willow Warbler. No suggestion of anything new in but it was great to see a juvenile Cirl Bunting being attended to by the female. Irrefutable evidence that breeding was indeed successful! I suspect there were other juveniles nearby but I only saw the one.
Mudbank counts included 2 Dunlin, 1 Knot, 3 Redshank, 1 Greenshank, 7 Pale-bellied Brent Geese, the adult Osprey, 1 Whimbrel, 1 Mediterranean Gull, 3 Wigeon and 1 Rock Pipit.
The fourth-winter Yellow-legged Gull was again in the recycling centre.
The seven Pale-bellied Brent Geese are still settled off Mudbank.
Adult Mediterranean Gull.
