Fri 5th Dec 25

A much nicer day today, after a late start I met up with Richard & Mike at French Pt., they were on their way back from Sandy Pt. and between us we had seen 8 Purple Sandpipers

From the hide: c20 Greylags, 80 Wigeon, 62 Teal, 10 Shoveler, 2 Shelduck, 70+ Lapwing, 3 Snipe, 1 Marsh Harrier, 1 Buzzard, 1 Kestrel.

On our way back to the carpark 5 Purple Sands were asleep on the seawall just north of the sluice and 3 more were on the wall south of French Pt. RJ/MO'H/MR
