Returning waders

After a typically waderless June numbers are beginning to build up again on the estuary. This morning there were 23 Curlew, four Common Sandpipers and a Greenshank at Passage House, with two Whimbrel and 52 Oystercatchers at Flow Point. On Sunday afternoon three Dunlin, two Greenshanks, a Common Sandpiper and an Oystercatcher were at Passage House (thanks Cilla Ingram).

Other counts from today included 24 Little Egrets, 24 Canada Geese, 35 Mute Swans, c.450 Black-headed Gulls and a pair of Shelducks with seven young.
