A long but engaging day on the south bank of the Humber, where we're resuming our surveys throughout the autumn and winter (having resumed those on the north side, at Paull, last month). Over the bridge early this morning between walls of rain and juggernauts; back over the bridge this evening as the sky glowed crimson and the rush hour ebbed. Inbetween? Four figures of
Black-tailed Godwits (above), hundreds of
Dunlins,
Avocets (below),
Redshank,
Lapwing and
Teal, lots of
Curlew,
Snipe,
Knot and other waterbirds, plus close-up
Marsh Harrier (below) and lots of
Chiffys (bottom) and Redwings in the scrub along river. It's good to be back.
