Charleton Birding: Geese Quarries - Charleton Marsh
http://charletonbirding.blogspot.com/2016/12/geese-quarries-charleton-marsh.html
Sunday, 11 December 2016. Geese Quarries - Charleton Marsh. 65279;. Looking towards Halwell Point and back of Wareham Point from below Creekside House. Looking west across Charleton Bay from the bird hide, tide comes in fast! Geese Quarries to Charleton Marsh, parking by the sewage works. Can be made longer by going farther around to Curlew Drive ( see blog post for 4th December ). Looking towards North Pool Bay, Mergansers in front, mostly Wigeons behind and farthest specks mostly Pintails.

Charleton Birding: Start Bay and Slapton Ley
http://charletonbirding.blogspot.com/2016/12/start-bay-and-slapton-ley.html
Sunday, 18 December 2016. Start Bay and Slapton Ley. Looking across the north end of the Lower Ley towards the Hartshorn Plantation. 65279;. Stokeley Bay Bird Hide. From the Stokeley Bay hide there was a load more Wildfowl and in amongst them was a female Goosander and the Long-tailed Duck reported last week, maybe a young male but it was fairly distant and after 15 minutes it few north up the ley with a load of Tufted Ducks, something had spooked them all, maybe an Otter?

Charleton Birding: January 2017
http://charletonbirding.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 January 2017. February is usually pretty quiet for us. Sometimes produces the worst weather of the winter but spring is getting ever closer, ( very rarely an early Wheatear or even Hoopoe can turn up in late February ). Storm force gales or cold weather movements can make things interesting but usually a quiet month. Very quiet, only highlights the wintering Whooper Swan on the River Avon and a Hen Harrier at East Soar on the 18th, the same day 22 Goldeneyes were at Slapton Ley. The strongest...

Friday, 30 December 2016. Beautiful weather post Christmas, hope everyone had a good one. Been down the Kingsbridge Estuary a couple times but it was fairly quiet. Highlights were 750 Golden Plovers flying above fields west of Charleton Marsh on Boxing Day and the Slavonian Grebe still present off Charleton Point on 28th. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Charleton Birding: Slapton, Beesands and Start Bay
http://charletonbirding.blogspot.com/2016/12/slapton-beesands-and-start-bay.html
Saturday, 10 December 2016. Slapton, Beesands and Start Bay. Next went around for a look at Beesands Ley which has been pretty poor for a while now. Yesterday was no exception, just a poor mans Abbotsbury with 41 Mute Swans, 5 Canada Geese and 3 Mallards. Worth going around though to watch the 500 or so Gannets in a feeding flock a few kilometres offshore. Plumes of water going up like an old distant naval battle was taking place. Black-necked Grebe off the Memorial Car Park. 11 December 2016 at 11:30.
