Brents

Yesterday, there were two Wigeon on the estuary off Netherton. One Black-tailed and two Bar-tailed Godwit remain with 90 Curlew, and other counts include eight Greenshank, five Redshank, three Common Sandpiper, four Lapwing and five Lesser Black-backed Gull. The first three Tufted Duck of the autumn were also on Decoy Lake.

Wildfowl on the Teign

This morning, a check of Teigngrace didn't produce many birds, just a small flock of Canada Geese and a few gulls.

This afternoon, a look around The Ness was quiet at first, but soon a tit flock moved through containing two Chiffchaff, a Blackcap, two Goldcrest and five Coal Tits. A quick scan over the sea revealed three Dark-bellied Brents flying around distantly offshore, the first of the year.
