Gann Yesterday

Our first visit to the Gann yesterday late afternoon. Two Bar-tailed Godwit showing well from Pickleridge on the receding tide and a couple of showy Greenshank on the lagoon. 4 Little Egret and the Hooded Crow eventually appeared on the beach (thanks Dave A!) Nice carpet of Wigeon, small parties of Teal and a female Pintail flew in. 4 Great-crested Grebe were in the bay. One Turnstone on the beach. Amongst other more usually expected birds. As dusk fell a very vocal female Peregrine was making life difficut for a smaller male over the carpark area. The Corvid roost flock was something to behold. And hear!
