Black Redstart(s)

A couple of Black Redstart have been around Mere Lane in Teignmouth for a week or so but none from the usual location of the Rugby Club until today. Not the hoped for returning male but a fem/imm type was on boats at Polly Steps before flying over the railway to the playing fields.

Out on the Salty Shelduck, Mute Swan and Red-breasted Merganser have returned to this section of the estuary for the winter with 220+ Oystercatcher and half a dozen Curlew present on the rising tide.
