16.01.08


Bowling Green Marsh. 1300 Sunny with showers not much wind.

The hide was busy with people this afternoon. I managed to pick the LBD out from the Redshank, a lonesome Spotted Redshank,Bar and Blackwit, Dunlin, Snipe and Wigeon that were all feeding in the same area. The LBD showed quiet well but eventually flew off to the river.

Two flocks of Avocet were in front of the hide, one on the far shore and one on the near shore. One bird came right up the channel so close to the hide, you could see it's blue legs in the sun light( mine would be blue too if i was in the water).

Also in the field were Redwing, they were also present along the road to the viewing platform.

I was watching the birds at the VP and noticed a buoy in the water moving, i got my scope on it and someone was inside it with a camera, nutter.

Present at the VP were 30+ Grey Plover among above mentioned species
