Thursday 4th September: Snipe & Greenshanks
This morning starting grey and rainy though brightening up later.
The continued rain has meant that the birds are feeding with renewed vigour on the recently flooded grass. There were lots of teal (c 30) and SNIPE (20+ ) feeding between Burgess creek and the north cove. The GREENSHANKS were still present, 2 DUNLIN and 3 RINGED PLOVER.
