Seasalter Chats.

9th September

Another visit to Seasalter and a walk around the plots which were very quiet, I didn't stop long but saw a whitethroat, coot, quite a few starlings which were tracking west plus a sparrowhawk flew out of the big tree just over the bridge, just managed a grab shot. A few swallows, 2 blackbirds, crows, wood pigeons all put in an appearance plus I could just make out a chiffchaff calling, also a couple of common darters were on the path. Back by the car, 9 linnets flew out of the NRA compound onto the beach.

Onto the Sportsman area where as I was getting out of the car I thought I saw the osprey flying away westwards, long wings and soaring, not a marsh harrier but only saw as it flew away so not conclusive. Along the wall near the white post 2 wheatears and 2 wheatears were feeding in the cut grass and not coming onto the wall much.

A return visit to photograph the chats again and a hobby put in a surprise flyby.
