Pett Pools and Marsh
21st September 2009, MondaySunday 2oth September. After coming back from Dung where I was more or less from the crack of dawn, hoping to see some sea movement ,unfortuantly there was’nt any to speak of. So I spent the best part of the morning watching the ARC Pit, where there was a good selection of ducks but no waders. I arrived at Pett about 10.30 am, the tide was covering the shore, but high tide was’nt until the early afternoon. The pools had no water in them apart from a little area of water in the middle pool, and an area around the pool of damp mud ( with over 300 dead Eels in the mud scattered over the whole dried up pool). So when my first Little Stint flew in with 2 Dunlin it made up for my early morning start. Also 3 B.T.Godwit and Marsh Harrier (imm) 2 Raven seen. Good bird watching Pete.
