I didn't think there would be a post today but the light was good, the camera was primed and the birds were on form. I had 43 species today at WOW including
golden plover, barwit, blackwit and 600+ dunlin. We even had
oystercatchers for the first time in a long time and I finally got
cormorant, goldeneye and eider as well using the scope at Kinnegar. Considering there were no feeders that was pretty good. As usual it helps to have 5 people working scopes and reporting in so as the rest of us could lock on to birds. Phyllis picked up a hen pheasant, Kenneth spotted a little grebe,
Gerry scoped three mistle thrushes and Dennis found a pied wagtail.The high tide roost was spectacular as
60 barwit, 400 blackwit, 10 golden plover, 600+ dunlin and 140 lapwing wheeled and displayed. A female
sparrowhawk lifted a
snipe and the
buzzard sat in his tree. All was well with the world and when I got home there were
siskins on the feeders!!
