Looked a good morning for migrants so set off with anticipation walking along the shoreline to the Salt House. First up a male Blackcap near the Lagoon.....

Blackcap (M) |
On the mudflats a Curlew....looked great in the early morning light
...but then very little else with Passerines noticeably absent.
On the mud a Cormorant doing what Cormorants do.....
...and then in Whites Creek a Curlew Sandpiper (very distant)
|
Curlew Sandpiper...very heavily cropped..but still showing some reddish summer plumage Others reported seeing four Curlew Sands
|
|
Little Egret |
|
Y L Gull |
|
A Murder of Magpies...some of the twenty near the Breech Pool.
...but migrants were in short supply...well there's always another day...hopefully.
As a matter of interest I did run into Jim Western who was showing Bob Lord the new and very changed harbour entrance from when he managed the reserve way back in the '80s. |
