Murky Oare

The day started off very well with an amazing Goldcrest in the beech hedge outside Elgar HE8a. It was having a good old attack on its reflection in the window. It was absolutely gorgeous in close-up, with its crest clearly displayed, Eventually I closed the blind in the hope that it would calm down.

At Oare the BTGs were looking very grey in contrast to the winter splendour of the Teal, Shoveller and Pintails. What looked like a very late Curlew Sandpiper flew in to one of the mudbanks.

Redshank, Dunlin, Curlew, Grey Plover, Herring and BH Gulls,

Many seals, wrecked on the just emerging Horse Sands.
