They are seen within minutes a group of maybe 60 or more, while watching them a Rock Pipit lands on a post in front of us.
A scan of the area gets us some Grey & Golden Plover, also many Knot & Sanderling & a Red-breasted Merganser shows.
Brent Geese & Skylark also seen, been here once before a cracking little place that we will visit again soon, a nice start to the day after dipping on the Pheasaant.
Twitchwell now & Water Rail ticked just after we leave the cafe area.
It is now a very nice day, with no wind at all, crisp but bright as we walk up to the beach.
Not to much out on the sea with it being so calm, on the pools Bar & Blacktail Godwit, Snipe, Avocet,& from the hide a Water Pipit gives us a nice early year tick. A few Bearded Tits seen on the walk back. A really nice day spent here with a few year ticks picked up.
Off now to Choseley where Fieldfare & Mistle Thrush are ticked.
At Holme a flock of 20 Snow Bunting are seen with a big flock of Linnets 60 or more seen, but the reported Lapland Bunting not seen.
The last place we visit on this trip is Burnham Overy & park just by the side of the road, lucky to get parked as there are a lot of people here.
We get well rewarded when we see 2 Common Buzzard, 2 Short-eared Owls & then 2 Rough-legged Buzzard all within a short distance of each other.
Also seen on the trip Pinkfooted Goose, Red-legged Partridge & we bumped into Nevill who we had not seen for some time so that was nice.
A few of the Twite |
