Great to see some wader passage on the Otter Estuary NR yesterday morning in the drizzly conditions and a light SE wind. A very flighty mixed flock of at least 55 Dunlin, 2 Sanderling and 7 Ringed Plover were whizzing up and down the estuary.
The Green-winged Teal showed much better on the evening of the 4th May and the first Shelduck ducklings of 2024 (9 birds) were fantastic to see. Shelduck numbers have increased considerably since LORP, so fingers crossed for many more new recruits!
