Juvenile BHGs

Again, more birds are building up on the estuary during the start of the Autumn migration. I saw the first Common Sandpiper last Tuesday along with two Dunlin. Today there were six very mobile Common Sandpipers flying around Passage House. Other birds included two Redshank, 68 Curlew, a Little Grebe and 140 Black-headed Gulls, of which seven were juveniles. No Mediterranean Gulls though. Another family of Shelduck has appeared with seven very small ducklings.
