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.
