Otter Estuary
A good day on the Otter today. Highlight was definitely a Short-eared Owl (thanks Ray!) sat on the saltmarsh for 10 minutes before being harrassed by crows and heading high west. Other highlights today:
33 Dunlin (good count), 30+ Curlew, 6+ Redshank, 4+ Ringed Plover, 4+ Lapwing, 1 Knot, 1 Grey Plover (scarce), 3 Bar-tailed Godwit, 3 Black-tailed Godwit, 12+ Snipe, 2 adult Med. Gulls, 300+ Skylark, 1 Brambling, 1 Water Pipit (cricket pitch) and last but not least the Glossy Ibis is still alive and well north of White Bridge.
No sign of Ruff reported from yesterday.
