This Fox slowly made its way along the beach in front of the sea watch hide this morning

I spent an hour in the sea watch hide this morning for very little reward, hopefully things will improve in the next few days.

There were at least 14 Glossy Ibis and 6 Cattle Egrets around the reserve today, of note a party of 17 Grey Herons were on Denge Marsh.

The Buff-breasted Sandpiper and the American Golden Plover were still in the ploughed field at Jurys Gap this morning.

These 4 Glossy Ibis came in from the south and settled on Denge Marsh

I watched these 4 Glossy Ibis come in from the sea over the switch station, they then flew around Burrowes before landing on one of the Makepiece islands to preen and rest.
