The last of 12 month Humber counts for this sector. Most areas dry, so wader numbers low, other than 180 'resident' oystercatchers, 80+ redshanks and 18 barwits and 13 little egrets However, it was excellent for a rather early autumn duck passage between 0715 and 0900hrs: Teal 230+>N in 11 flocks and 21 on sea. Wigeon 6>N in 2 of teal flocks. Pintail 2>N in 1 teal flock. Common scoter 16 on sea. Red-throated diver 1> Pink-footed goose 44>S in 3 groups. Long-tailed skua 1 on sea and chasing sandwich terns. Bonxie 3 came in together low from NE and flew in over high sands and marsh, picked up thermals, circled very high and then drifted south along coast. Regards Cliff |
