Hi,
highlights have included:
Whooper swan 18 Avocet 9 Ringed plover 12 Golden plover c1200 Dunlin 45 Ruff 16 Snipe 12 Black-tailed godwit 24 (some in summer plumage) Little gull 1 (1st winter) Sand martin (the 1st this year)
Also, 6 goosander (3 drakes, 3 ducks) flew over at around 15.30 providing 12 species of duck today:
Shelduck, wigeon, gadwall, teal, mallard, pintail, shoveler, pochard, tufted duck, scaup, goldeneye, goosander.
With eider, red-breasted merganser and common scoter seen from Tabbs head fairly regularly, and a velvet scoter seen yesterday, it is possible to see up to 16 species of duck in a day at this time of year at Frampton.
Cheers,
Simon.
