Determination wins


Since the weather turned bad I was determined to get some of the winter birds that grace our shores. my first challenge was to walk a relatively cold miserable birdless walk to see a flock of wintering Twite. My second trip of the week produced 20 birds crouched below the shingle beach by some old dock plants. Woo hoo! a year tick!

On the way back with the wind behind me i stopped to see and note down Sea Mayweed Tripleospermum maritimum and Purple Glasswort salicornia ramossima

Next stop was Minsmere RSPB to see the Grey Phalarope, which was showing very close to west hide, so another year tick.
