WeBS
Totals from between Passage House and Salcombe Dip this morning included a Pintail, four Wigeon, eight Little Grebes, 27 Little Egrets, 103 Curlew, 38 Redshanks, nine Greenshanks, eight Ringed Plovers, five Lapwings, four Snipe, three Turnstones, three Common Sandpipers and singles of Black-tailed Godwit, Dunlin and Kingfisher. 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
