This was a very pleasant surprise this morning. We had gone to Blacktoft this morning to see the Dunlin on the high tide and to hopefully see a curlew sandpiper but this was outside the hide, wowsers. A sparrowhawk fly through soon put paid to the closeness as all the birds re-landed some distance away !
At the front, next to the redshank
A curlew sandpiper.....like finding a needle in a haystack ! But find it we certainly did !
Pink-footed Geese have started to arrive and we had quite a few in the fields on our way to Blacktoft. These were over the house yesterday
200 + Dunlin on Blacktoft, roosting on the high tide. Quite a welcome spectacle
