Orwell estuary and Trimley reserve updates
Today I was involved, with about 44 other fieldworkers, in a coordinated low water count of the Stour and Orwell estuaries. My patch of intertidal was between Cliff Quay and Bridge Wood saltings. I counted 1,600 Dunlin, the highest number for many years, other species included 248 Redshanks, 465 Oystercatchers, 127 Black-tailed Godwit, 1 Scaup, 39 Great-crested Grebe and 20 Little Grebe.
