After a day of driving rain yesterday, this morning was fine, but with a driving gale in off the sea. Made watching birds through a scope almost impossible as I had to cling on to the telescope to stop it blowing over. However I managed to do half an hour before heading back up the M5 to work.
Birds seen; 7 Curlew, small Linnet flock, 130+ Shelduck, 2 Juv Herring Gull, 7 Carrion Crow, Lesser Black Backed Gull, 2 Raven, 1 Redshank, 2 Starling, 3 Common Gull and numerous Black Headed Gull. On drive home saw, 23 Curlew in flooded field in Sand Road, plus 3 Pied Wagtail, a Carrion Crow and a Blue Tit. Raven flew over M5, 200+ Lapwing in same flooded field as earlier in the week, Grey Heron, small Mallard flock on a temporary pool and numerous gulls playing on the wind. Did I really have to come to work?????
