Bowling Green Marsh
I was greeted by the sight of 3 sand martins feeding over the main lagoon this morning, very nice to see them starting to come back.
Loads of wigeon and teal as normal. shoveler, tufted duck, mallard and pintail were among other ducks present. A single little grebe was feeding too. Snipe, blackwit and the odd curlew were feeding. All were sent up when first a buzzard, get mobbed by crows, and then a sparrowhawk flew passed.
I moved to the viewing platform.
Right under the VP was a single spotted redshank, as you can see, great show. Avocets were feeding, the video shows how they use the up turned bill so well.
Dunlin, redshank, greenshank,curlew, blackwits and grey plover made up the numbers.
A great time was had.
