Went to Lepe Sunday afternoon.. The highlight being 2 Black Necked Grebes offshore. Also a couple of Adult Winter Meditteranean Gulls, and a Red Breasted Merganser.
Headed down the road to Calshot Marshes, which looks like a superb place for migrants in the scrub south of the Power station, the bushes within the power station perimeter, and more bushes between the power station and oil refinery. As you can guess, it's not the most scenic place to go, and was fairly quiet today. I did see a huge pre-roost flock of Starlings wheeling over the skies before heading to roost on the Eastern edge of the refinery. Surpsied nothing was hunting the Starling flock, or over the saltmarsh. Not a single Bird of Prey to be seen. |
