Carters Flood
22nd March 2009, SundaySunday 22nd March 09, There was not much on the pools or the sea, so I decided to go hunt out a Garganey or something, another reason to go to Carters was, it was bloody cold on the sea wall. There was a good selection of ducks and waders with Wigeon, Gadwall, Teal, Mallard, Shoveler, Shelduck, but no Garganey! better luck next week hopefully? On the wader front it was much better with Snipe very close to the hide and 8 Bl.T.Godwits one in winter plumage 2 Avocets, with Lapwing and Curlew making up the numbers. But the best sightings of the morning was of a Ringed Tailed Hen Harrier flying along the old sea cliffs with a adult cream head Marsh Harrier in company,with a Sparrow Hawk flying above them. So not a bad morning in the end. Good hunting Pete.
