The early morning sun quickly disappeared behind thick cloud..it only lasted a few minutes. It certainly shone a spotlight on the old 'local nature reserve' sign. The RSPB are a little slow in replacing this one... I don't believe the Spit is a high priority!
On my way to try and locate the reported Snow Bunting I noted this Cormorant fishing close to the bank on the Lagoon.
 |
| Keeping a close eye on me. |
Later in the day the sun reappeared and I tried yet again to locate the Snow Bunting...again unsuccessfully. However as I made my way to the North Wall I did spot a distant Ruddy Shelduck.
 |
| It was way out so a very heavy crop...the bird had a severe limp. |
As I made my way along Whites creek I tried to get a few shots of the 'usuals' .....
 |
| Black Tailed Godwit |
 |
| Drake Wigeon. |
 |
| Grey Plover with worm |
 |
| This one didn't come out quite so easily! |
Another look for the Snow Bunting later in the day but still 'no joy'.
 |
| Brent Geese flying from the harbour to the Lagoon. |
 |
| ...and finally a Curlew in the late afternoon sun. |
Tomrrow is another day....perhaps a Snow Bunting Day!
