Walking down from Dunster Station to the Beach today, there were a large number of ducks and geese on the fields alongside the river Avill.
Several hundred Wigeon with some Teal and three species of Geese, dominated by Canadas, the Tundra Bean Goose and a White-bellied Brent.
Other species included a Cormorant, several Little Egrets and a couple of Curlews.
In the rather long grass around a water logged feeding trough there were a couple of Pied Wagtails and two Pipits, which proved difficult to see in any detail in the long vegetation, but could have been Water Pipits.

The Tundra Bean Goose still present this morning (11th), so not the bird reported at Apex park, Burnham.

Just had an identification of the colour ringed curlew GRY-RGR which Dave mentioned from NABU: it’s a German bird ringed in Schleswig Holstein 2017 and identified by several society members in the Dunster Beach area (March 2018, January 2019) and also back in Schleswig Holstein (May 2019) in the subsequent years. I will pass this email on to the County Recorder.
