Oystercatchers were again conspicuous by their absense with just seven noted.
The Oystercatcher were on The Salty this morning on the rising tide, but as it was flooded they headed out of the estuary and turned south. Presumably they are roosting somewhere at the base of the cliffs rather than Flow Point.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev that's good to know. Wonder what caused them to switch roost locations
