Go with the Flow

In between the showers this morning I had a look off Flow Point. A group of small waders comprising 14 Dunlin and 13 Ringed Plover was feeding along the edge of the water, and two Whimbrel alighted briefly nearby. As the tide rose Black-headed Gulls were beginning to gather on the Point, and in amongst them were ten Sandwich Terns with a further five perched on buoys in the estuary. Later in the day I took a walk along the northern side of the estuary opposite Passage House and counted 102 Curlew and a further five Whimbrel.
