24th February 2023

 Weather: NNW force 4

Nine Eider were present today with lots of displaying and courtship behaviour.

 

 

A pair of Goosander were spotted at Redshank Bend on the ebb and 80 Sanderling fed at the edge of East Hoyle.  Numbers of Brent Geese have reduced over the last two days but 115 are still present. Oystercatcher numbers (2,800) are also reducing. Eighty Sanderling and 91 Turnstones were counted in addition to 14 Purple Sandpipers. Just the usual wintering birds on the island, however 3 Robins were about this morning.
