Migrants were on the move at the Lighthouse today. An early morning circuit of the coastal
paddocks produced three Wheatear and a Spotted Flycatcher. By late
afternoon the Spotted Flycatcher had moved on however Wheatears had
increased to five. Several Warblers had
arrived in the coastal hedges including 2 Chiffchaffs a single Willow
Warbler and a single Whitethroat.
A good
count of 24 Little Egret fed in the shallows just beyond the
Lighthouse car park along with several young Grey Heron.
Other
waders on the move today at the Lighthouse included 400 Dunlin, 33
Ringed Plover, 4 Whimbrel, 3 Black tailed Godwit and a single Knot.
