Ribble Estuary and Witch Wood

Glorious evening tonight and the light was wonderful!  With high tide after dark I decided to walk through Witch Wood first before heading onto the Estuary to give the tide as long as possible to come in.

Witch Wood:

Blackcap (2)
Song Thrush (2)
Chiffchaff (2 heard)




NO SIGN OF TURKEY VULTURE

Even at low tide there was plenty of activity on the estuary but only small numbers of passage waders.  The main spectacle was c90 Eider in a pool of very close to the Jetty.  A few birders and photographers were there taking advantage of the sight.

Ribble Estuary:

Meadow Pipit (10)
Knot (1 - appeared lame)
Ringed Plover (8)
Dunlin (8)
Eider (90)
Cormorant (4)
Grey Heron (3)
Little Egret (1)
Swallow (4)
