Rye Harbour Sightings
29th April 2008, TuesdayNumbers of Whimbrel roosting on the Quarry are creeping up, with 269 leaving the roost this morning. As with previous dawn counts this year, the birds left quite late, with the first departing at about 5:10 and the last at 5:50 (just as the rain turned up!). Also present here were eight Knot, three Curlew, three Grey Plover (including a superb male in full breeding plumage) and a single Bar-tailed Godwit.
