Angle Bay - late afternoon

Our late afternoon short walk for some exercise around some of Angle Bay couldn't begin to match Dave's  excellent pipit find - well done! 

However it was nice to see a whooper swan resting on the sea on the Kilpaison side, not far from 35 pale-bellied brent geese feeding avidly near a small flock of wigeon (about 300 in total). 

The tide was too low really to see much at close quarters, but over on the village-side there were typical expected waders feeding including a few greenshank, 6 or more grey plovers, similar numbers of bar-tailed godwits and a curlew sandpiper feeding with several dunlin - all too distant for any decent photos.
