At a very windy Gann yesterday there were surprisingly more Grey Plovers than usual - 5. Also 67 Teal which I think is a record for me. Interestingly, I had only managed to clock up about 6 Teal, though I was sure there were more lurking in the reeds, when suddenly they all swam out on to the water from a number of different hiding places, making them very easy to count. The reason became clear as a Peregrine hovered in the wind just over my head obviously fancying a bit of duck for lunch.
Black-headed Gulls were feeding very actively, dancing over the surf on the beach - nice to watch. I could only find 18 Light-bellied Brents - were the rest of the flock over at the Angle side??
Peter's WEBS at Little Milford was good for waders - 223 Redshank, 690 Lapwing and 96 Curlew.
