Sprinkle Pill

Yesterday, as I arrived at the pill mouth a Peregrine was putting up the mass of waders and wildfowl. All the usual suspects were there and in good numbers; 87 Shelduck, 15 Shoveler and 25 Common Gulls reasonably high for this site. Disturbance in neighbouring fields pushed a flock of geese into the bay - 396 Canada and one Greylag in total. Thankfully, there was no sign of dead or diseased birds this visit.
