Sunday 1st October

KEYHAVEN

The weather forecast wasn't very promising, but we went to Keyhaven anyway. It was a good decision, because in spite of very blustery wind, we only had one shower. We walked the sea wall as far as the outfall at Pennington, returning along the inland path. Among the birds we saw were Little Grebe, Little Egret, Black-tailed Godwit and Teal on the Avon flood, a distant Osprey on a post on the salt marsh, Redshank, Oystercatcher, Turnstone, Grey and Ringed Plovers, two Little Stints, Wheatear, Wigeon and Dunlin. We had a look from the car park at Milford on Sea where an adult Mediterranean Gull was flying around the car park.
