Gann

Lisa recorded 51 Brent Geese on the lagoon this morning on the high tide, this afternoon just 11 as the tide started to come in again.  Clearly movement between here and Angle, and it always seems to be the case that our biggest numbers are on the big tides (better feeding here?).

This evening, as well as reading 1 Curlew, 2 Redshank & 5 Oystercatcher colour-rings, also managed 2 colour-ringed Common Gulls, J6U7 & JJ924 both previously recorded - see HERE and HERE).  5 Mediterannean Gulls amongst quite a meagre gathering (3 adults, 2 2CY), and 3 Ringed Plover on the beach.  2 Mute Swans on the lagoon after an absence.
