Too much work and other stuff has kept me from blogging lately so I'll probably skip over some recent sightings as they are out of date now! Just last night I got down to Black Hole Marsh and noticed a redhead Goosander on one of the islands. In front of it were 2 Ringed Plover and 17 Dunlin. On the estuary, the male Wigeon was still hanging on after all the others have left. Also, the Greylag Goose could be seen distantly on Bridge Marsh.
Other sightings since my last post have been Hobby, 2 Knot, Grey Plover, 5 Greenshanks and a Barwit but these I suspect have
all moved on now. Colyton has myriad Swifts and the House Martins have been bolstered in number at last. Local Dippers fledged at least 2 chicks as I watched the adults feeding them along the Coly. Let's hope that Spring still has something left to give us.
