An average morning was turned into a really good one as we walked back along the seawall and a land rover being driven in the Oyster Farm disturbed a Stone Curlew (159). It flew out from the Oyster Farm and briefly landed on the beach before flying to Coldharbour and settling on the shingle bank. This is only the third Stone Curlew to be recorded in the area.
Other birds seen included 2 Mute Swans, 16 Little Egrets, 3 Grey Herons, 9 Cormorants, 15 Oystercatchers, 2 Ringed Plovers, 6 Common Sandpipers, 2 Green Sandpipers, 4 Redshank, 2 Whimbrel, 1 Curlew, 2 Dunlin, 2 juvenile Little Owls, 8 Meadow Pipits and 18 Linnets.
