WeBS

Presumably the same Bar-headed Goose that spend much of last winter at Rackerhayes had joined the 133 Canada Geese at Passage House on Sunday morning. At the other end of the estuary Turnstones are already back in good numbers, with 32 between the Shaldon Bridge and Teignmouth Back Beach. Other totals included 262 Oystercatchers, 61 Curlew, five Whimbrels, seven Greenshanks, one Redshank, two Common Sandpipers,  32 Mute Swans, 450 Black-headed Gulls, five Cormorants, three Shags, three Kingfishers and two Sandwich Terns
