Arrived 1pm and it was
sunny, windy and about 10C. Main car park had less that 20 cars. The south side
of the causeway was completely covered in water 30 min after safe crossing
began. Returning
to the mainland about 2.5 hours after safe crossing began there was just as
much water on the causeway, in fact the sand alongside looked drier but we
didn't try it.
There were 60 light
bellied brent geese on the grass near the scrape and they flew off about 15 min
later. There were about 100 teal visible next to the scrape with others in the
short lush green grass to the right (east) of the scrape. They kept moving to
and fro, grass to scrape and back again. Kestrel flew past low and close to the
building 3 times. One herring gull on the scrape which was useful for size
comparison. In the distance to the NE there was a big flock of small birds
which may have been linnets, finches or …...... Visitors were all impressed
with the smart plumage of the teal and how little they are.
Best wishes David &
