Ringed Plovers, Osprey

With near-record numbers of Ringed Plovers at Dawlish Warren recently, I headed to Flow Point this morning wondering if there had been an increase in the comparatively meagre population on the Teign. Walking westwards along the edge of the sea wall from near Salcombe Dip, I could see small groups of Ringed Plovers scattered about on the point and some diligent scanning eventually produced a total of 52, the highest count since August 2012. A Turnstone, a Teal and a Kingfisher were also noted.

On Wednesday the first Osprey of the year was between Passage House and Coombe Cellars.
