Paid a visit to the estuary today on the dropping tide from 11:50-13:15
Iron Bridge:
Tide still very high when I arrived. 3 common sand were in amongst the Canada geese. 4 little egret also present. A colour-ringed osprey flew up river (only a dark colour ring discernable, not the code).
Estuary:
The tide dropped very quickly. The osprey made multiple passes until about 12:20. Waders on show included 8 oystercatcher, 3 curlew, 1 blackwit, 1 sandling, 17 ringed plover, 15 dunlin and 1 redshank.
