Seasalter

Several hundred brent geese were on the waters edge with the tide out. Their calls created a wild atmosphere to this busy estuary. A number of oyster catchers were in close proximity to the geese whilst further inshore were redshanks. A flock of sanderlings seemed to spend much of their time in the air. Other shoreline birds included turnstones, starlings, and rock pipits. Numerous small flocks of finches were also apparent. Some could be identified as chaffinches but others were difficult to identify.
