Rye Harbour Sightings

29th March 2006, Wednesday

Numbers of gulls at Ternery Pool continue to increase, with 52 Mediterranean Gull and 700+ Black-headed Gull present there this morning, along with 50 Sandwich Tern, which again roosted to the right of the Crittall Hide with 166 Oystercatcher. On Flat Beach, four Wheatear were present (with a further two birds on Harbour Farm), while the Quarry played host to a lovely male Pintail, and two Brent Goose rested on Wader Pool briefly before flying off to the the east.
