Hook WeBS

I did Davids WeBS this afternoon between Hook Quay and Sprinkle, lovely afternoon and plenty of birds. Mostly made up by Golden plover (2500), Lapwing (1910) and dunlin (1180). Selected others - 1010 teal, 112 mallard, 110 shelduck, 71 wigeon, 22 pintail, 8 shoveler. 81 redshank, 50 curlew, 40 oystercatchers, 9 ringed plover, 4 grey plover, a single black-tailed godwit. 360 Canada geese up in the fields above Sprinkle and one greylag calling. A peregrine flushed all the waders and teal at full tide at Sprinkle.
