Druridge Bay was cold once again this morning. It never seems to be warm on weekends! It was also quiet except for a good spell at Cresswell Pond early afternoon.
At Cresswell a drake
Garganey dropped in before appearing to head into the reeds in the south-west corner. Waders included 5
Ruff (3 very smart males), a
Greenshank, a brief
Whimbrel,
Avocet and lots of
Dunlin. 2
Little Gulls dropped in before heading off north to Druridge Pools. Also around the pond were
Little Egret,
White Wagtail and a singing
Grasshopper Warbler at Druridge Pools.
Elsewhere in the bay the
Goosander was again at East Chevington along with 5
Red-breasted Mergansers and a
Mediterranean Gull flew over Druridge Pools. I missed a Manx Shearwater which my Dad saw flying south past Druridge Pools.
