Bird Watching 12/08/2016

Trip:  Friday 12th August

A large flock of Swallows and House Martins were overhead as we set off accompanied by sunshine.

Numerous waders were seen, which on this trip included a Greenshank.

With perfect evening light the colourful Black-tailed Godwits were impressive and Dunlin and Ringed Plovers

on the Estuary gave a good clear view.

Gull numbers are increasing and four species were noted.

A Kingfisher very obligingly sat on a perch from where he fished.

32 species of birds recorded.

A trip with fine weather and lots of birds.
