The wintering Spotted Redshank made an appearance at Passage House on Sunday morning, roosting with 41 Redshanks. Also at Passage House at least 61 Common Gulls was a good total for this stage in March. Other totals from around the estuary reflected departure to breeding grounds but included 40 Oystercatchers, 36 Turnstones, 14 Curlew, two Common Sandpipers, 20 Mute Swans,16 Shelducks, 10 Red-breasted Mergansers, 18 Little Egrets, five Cormorants and three Shags.
I somehow missed any Red Kites but good numbers of Common Buzzards and a couple of Sparrowhawks put on a good show overhead in the warm and sunny conditions.
