We took advantage of the sun and warmth this morning and headed to the patch. Despite no migrants being seen yet there were still a few birds of interest...
The raptors were perhaps the most obvious with 2 different female
Marsh Harriers, c.10
Buzzards, and twos of
Sparrowhawk and
Kestrel in the bay. Also on the move were
Pied Wagtails with a steady passage of birds heading north.
Druridge Pools still held the
Ruff and 4
Pintail with a female
Scaup on the north pool, and at Cresswell Pond the
Long-billed Dowitcher remained along with 5
Avocets and a showy
Water Rail.
