Colyton/Seaton Stuff 15-18th Sept.

After my last post I had a Greenshank on BHM late in the day. On Friday 16th a new Little Stint plus 3 Knot( 1 in Winter plumage) were on BHM. On Saturday 17th, a juvenile Hobby was feeding on one of the massive swarm of Swallows along Cownhayne Lane, where the occasional white rump of a House Martin interspersed the Swallowage. No less than 3 Whinchat, 4 Wheatear & 3 Stonechat lined the Cownhayne fenceposts. At Coly Common the Little Stint (or another ) was on the scrape from the hide with 8 Ringos and 7 Dunlin. On BHM, 1 each of Yellow Wagtail & White Wagtail accompanied 40 Pied Wagtails plus 18 Bar-tailed Godwits. On Sunday 18th, Little Stint was still on BHM, then just before dusk 2 Goosander flew down the Axe then over Seaton Marshes towards the sea. A new week begins...
