7th January 2021: Low tide count
Each month during winter Tim completes a Webs count (wetland bird survey). He also does a low tide count. The high tide counts are suspended during lockdown as it involves standing at a particular public location peering through the scope for a couple of hours, which is not in line with current guidance. The low tide count covers a slightly different area and involves a walk around the river and nature reserve. As a concession we left the scopes at home and completed the survey via our daily exercise from home.
Birds seen were:
18 Oystercatcher
50 Redshank
1 Greenshank
40 Teal
1 Curlew (new ✔️)
1 Kingfisher
30 Turnstone
1 Brent Goose
28 Ringed Plover
4 Grey Plover
4 Little Egret
70 Lapwing
Annual tally now at 77.
