A group of eight juvenile Goosanders on the estuary just east of Passage House this afternoon was unexpected and by far the largest number I've recorded on patch. Perhaps they are all siblings that fledged on the upper reaches of the Teign this summer. Also in the Passage House area 10 Greenshanks, nine Whimbrels, four Common Sandpipers, two Green Sandpipers (flushed below the car park), two juvenile Shelducks and an adult Mediterranean Gull.
