Rye Harbour NR, East Sussex
Missed out on the scaup today at Rye Harbour NR. I was sure that I was looking at one in the scope, only to discover it was a female tufted duck with a large amount of white at the base of the bill. I need to get smarter and nail this ID next time.
- No problem with the stunning drake pintail with an accompanying female, seen from Denny Hide.
- Or the black-necked grebe seen from the Ternery Pool.
- I don't think I have ever seen so many little grebes in one place.
- Grey plovers, golden plovers, dunlin and a snipe were the pick of the rest.
Missed the target bird but still had a smashing time in superb weather conditions. 33 species seen!
