Friday 22nd August

At high tide on the upper estuary this dinner time 26 Greenshanks were roosting on the saltmarsh. A Ruff was feeding among them. 10-20 Dunlin were also roosting on the saltmarsh. A fox spooked a few of the roosting birds. The estuary's birds seem rather uninterested in foxes. 2 Common Sandpipers were on the eastern shore. A Kingfisher was also present on the upper estuary. I encountered 2 more Kingfishers further upstream.
