On Sunday (Mother Day) I manged to posaide my family to go to heigh bridge basin. I think they are a bit fed up of spending almost every Saturday or Sunday taking me out birding but hopefully they will get hooked as well someday.
We saw a oystercatcher siting on a boat and surprisingly 2 Brent geese flew over ually they wouls have gone to their summer grounds in Scandinavia by now! On the main lagoon where the black headed gulls bread there were 2 oystercatchers and a pair of mating black headed gulls(bh gulls). Along with 12 tufted duck, mallard, coot and moorhen.
A grey heron flew over and there was a large flock of dunlin in the distance over the blackwater. 3 shelduck rounded up the visit and 2 bh gulls diving of the lock. A great day and I expect that you all have the same issue that I have.
