Chiffchaff in the the trapping area
As I drove onto the estate this morningBlackbirds were coming across the shingle having just come across the channel, parking at the lighthouse at least 10 Blackbirds were in and around the the garden, with more being flushed as I walked past West Beach and Lloyds to the observatory. A wander around the Trapping area and bottom Long Pit found more Blackbirds, Song Thrushes and Redwing and eventually some Fieldfare, Siskin, Redpoll and Brambling were also seen and heard in small numbers, also 2 Common Snipe flushed from a damp area, but still no Ring Ouzel or Crest of any description for me.
Redwing over The Moat
From Dennis's Hide a Black-tailed Godwit, 2 Dunlin, a Ruff and some Golden Plover were the highlights from Burrowes. At least 15 Cattle Egret remain, along with the 2 Glossy Ibis, Great and Little Egrets.
