ELMLEY MARSH BEARDIES 15/10/16




The approach track to the car park was fairly quiet with mainly Lapwings, Pied Wagtails, Skylarks, Meadow Pipits, Kestrel and a couple of Marsh Harriers.

A skirmish between a Kestrel and a juvenile Peregrine was entertainment in between Stonechat, Reed Bunting and Bearded Tit sightings on the path to the hides. Although the tide was pretty much fully up, the flood in front of the hide was almost fully down and held just a few waders; Ringed Plovers, a couple of Redshanks, a few Dunlins and a couple of Grey Plovers.


The wind had dropped considerably on the way back to the car park and the Beardies were much more evident.
