Black Reds and Shovelers

A good sized flock of 28 Dunlin was at Passage House this morning with three Common Sandpipers, two each of Black and Bar-tailed Godwit, 70 Redshank, one Greenshank, 78 Curlew, three Snipe, eight Little Grebe and the first returning flock of 11 Red-breasted Mergansers.

Three female Shovelers were on Decoy Lake with c. 10 Tufted Ducks, but no sign of the Scaup yet.

A couple of Black Redstarts have been around my house in Newton Abbot over the last few days including an adult male. Here's a female/1st winter...
