I haven't been out birding for two weeks so I was please to spend a few hours yesterday morning along the Western Cleddau. In the immediate area Birdlife remained low, a few Curlews and Shelducks. A look over towards Millin Pill, hoping to find last weeks Green-winged Teal drew a blank, but there was plenty of
Eurasian Teal there . Over towards Sprinkle Pill 3
Grey Plovers were roosting amongst a group of
Dunlin. Elsewhere there were several
Wigeon, more Teal, 20
Redshank, a large flock of 500
Golden Plover, 1
Little Egret and 3
Pintail, including a smart drake.
Next stop was Rosemarket WTW, plenty of
Goldcrests were present as was a
Grey Wagtail and a winter in
Chiffchaff. It took some time but eventually a stunning
Firecrest came into view and foraged around the sewage works. It stayed around for about 10 mins before heading back into the woods.
