Couple of hours at RSPB ELmley on Thursday, took a few pics
as seen below.
Birds seen were two Common Buzzard, possible Red Kite also
seen by another birder two Marsh Harrier, avocets were way over east of
Wellmarsh, two Canada Geese, dozen or so Greylag Geese, shelduck, Redshank,
Tufted Duck, Oyster Catcher.
The Wellmarsh scrape was inundated with Black Headed Gulls
they seem to have taken over the Avocets nesting places, whether in fact they
would by, choice be there is debateable, as the feeding conditions for the
Avocets is by no means ideal, the water is, after all this rain rather high,
thus making easy feeding difficult for these birds.
In all and summing up I suppose the performing Redshanks were the highlight and thus
have my vote.
