Time for birding has been limited recently due to numerous constraints! However here are a few photos of the past few days. The highlight has to be a White Tailed Eagle soaring high over the sea in front of our bungalow on the beach, being mobbed by gulls and crows.
The seal is being seen regularly in the harbour entrance...
'Stumpy' the short billed Greenshank is back again by the sluice gate along the North Wall
The Short Eared Owl has been seen in the mornings in the Breech Pool reedbed
....and my first Cuckoo of the year was present on the 18th April
The very regular Cettis Warbler at the entrance to the North walk
Several sedge Warblers now very vocal,
Water Vole near the slice.
...and finally along the spit a lone Brent Goose feeding last evening
....and a pair of Ringed Plovers were showing interest in the shingle spit and another single (below) was on the old Little Lagoon.
A pair of Linnets were building a nest in the gorse alongside the path which augurs well as a flock of 12 birds are regularly seen on the beach.
Hopefully, there will be time for more birding soon.
