A very large flock of 82 Dunlin was at Passage House this morning. Looking back through the WeBS records, this is the largest since 1991, but still insignificant compared to the 1000-1500 the estuary was getting during the 1970s. With being able to count the wintering flock of Dunlin on one hand over the last few winters, one wonders what's changed?
Other waders included three Bar-tailed Godwit, six Greenshank and two Common Sandpiper. The gulls included 80 Greater Black-backed Gulls, two Lesser Black-backed Gulls and 12 Common Gulls.
