Angle Bay



At Kilpaison this morning signs of wader passage with 31 very approachable Dunlin on the beach, the large majority well into summer plumage. When they all crouched down I thought I had moved a step too close but a moment later a Peregrine flew over and they then resumed fuellling up. The only other waders 12 Oystercatchers.
In the bushes behind the beach several displaying Whitethroats and plenty of Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps.
