23.02.07


Down to the Warren early this morning. But the weather was really taking its toll. Not many birds. Loads of waders though. There were loads of Knot, Dunlin and Grey Plover on finger point. There were Ring Plovers with some Dunlin and Greater Black Back Gulls on the seaward side of the spit.

In front of the hide was a Redshank and Little Egret and 4 Redbreasted Mergansers.

I desided to make my way to the car and found another Little Egret on the path running through Greenland lake.

I did stop at the main pond and found a Grey Heron and Cormarant both sheltering from the wind and feeding.

I was shocked to see how much the sea had taken back along the rune ridge. Look at the photo. On the groyne you can see a klump of sand with marrum grass still attached. The shore line was up to the first point on the klump.
