The juvenile Osprey was at times directly overhead at Mudbank this morning.
Shelly Beach - quick look - c400+ Common Terns and 2 Mediterranean Gulls this morning.
Mudbank - juvenile Osprey, 8 Black-tailed Godwits and c100 Teal but very little time spent looking and most stuff flushed by the Osprey anyway!
I combined an Aldi shop with a look at Bowling Green again this morning. Totals included fairly crude counts of 425+ Redshank, c300 Curlew and c470+ Black-tailed Godwits. These species were bunched in such a way that made accurate counting very difficult. Easier to count were 6 juvenile Ruff, 17 Knot, 2 Common Sandpipers, 20 Lapwing, 37+ Dunlin, 2 Ringed Plovers, 25 Greenshank, 2 Spotted Redshank, 7+ Bar-tailed Godwits, 1 Whimbrel, 3 Spoonbill, 14 Cattle Egrets, 35 Little Egrets, 22+ Wigeon (with a further flock of c20+ over and back onto the river), 2 Gadwall, c75 Teal, 13 Pintail and 27+ Shoveler.
Yesterday - Orcombe - 14+ Yellow Wagtails and 1 Wheatear.
Shelly Beach - c300 Common Terns, c20+ Sandwich Terns and 2 Little Terns.
Mudbank - 1 Osprey, 650+ Black-headed Gulls and 38+ Wigeon the only stuff counted.
Wheatear - just the one on Orcombe yesterday.
A minimum of 14 Yellow Wagtails are still in with cattle on Orcombe.
