27th August


Another walk down the river this morning, still two Greenshank present…


But only five Snipe today plus Curlew and a Common Sandpiper.
A group of nine Goosander were the first I’ve seen for a couple of months…


Other birds seen included two Kingfishers, two Buzzard, two Little Egret, three Teal and around 1000 BH gulls and 150 Herring Gulls.
Pick of the sightings though was a cracking dog Otter. I didn’t manage any decent pics…


But I did ring my wife and she was able to get down in time to see it. At long last her first Otter despite looking for them on Shetland, Hebrides etc!
