Another day, another too late start, but the promise of spring-plumage Wood Sandpipers got me off out down southwest.
Oh look.
It was a bit overcast and a lot windy by the time I got there - kudos again to The Teacher - and the birds got a lot more elusive than previously [see his twitter], but eventually, 3 Wood Sand, 1 Ruff, 1 Dunlin, and 5 Cattle Egret were visible [with aid of some height]. At least 4 Teal were about the Marsh, but no Garganey that I could find.
Bad pics [I blame the wind];
Shelduck, Dunlin, Wood Sand, Ruff
Cattle Egrets
With all the wind, and now the threat of rain, I decided to give the sea a go.
In 30 mins, 3 RT Divers [all together], 2 Cormorant, and 19 Gannets went by North.
Yes, counting Cormorants.
I took a meandering route home, but despite getting back into blazing sunshine [it was only horrid over there.. natch] I was unable to find anything noteworthy. Ah well, you tries, you does.
Those Wood Sands, though [spring ones are rather fancy]. [[And getting Ruff at last... Ahem]
Be Seeing You...
