I was there to check the roosting egrets, and came away feeling surprised having not seen any Cattle Egrets! Looks like they've all gone to Abbotsbury. Two adult Med Gulls on the Estuary were as exciting as it got. Saying that I was surprised to see a distant Starling murmuration, albeit a small one (a mini-murm!) over Seaton. It turns out they are roosting behind solar panels on a house roof near the Orchard car park...
Today, during a local wander to get little Harry to sleep, a female-type Black Redstart was showing well along the sea front...
Other recent little snippets of interest from me include a lingering Greenshank and four Shoveler in the valley, up to three Common Scoter, Red-throated Divers and Great Crested Grebes settled offshore, and a pair of Blackcaps in Mum and Dad's front garden.
Maybe it's a good time to be reminded that in roughly eight weeks Wheatears will be here!
Nice picture. Thanks for posting I am also a birder.Visit my blogBirds Of India
