An afternoon dog walk on the Skern was very productive. Fine sunny day with good visibility and the tide was high, forcing birds nearer to the shore. 50 Brent Geese were the main feature with similar numbers of Shelduck and a few Wigeon and the Eider, 1 Greenshank and a few Curlew were the only waders, one of the latter had two yellow colour-rings, one on each leg.
Two wheatear males were standing on the pebble ridge which were the first I had seen this spring.
