Whimbrel and Walkers dont mix
No sooner had we left the car we spotted a Whimbrel feeding on
the grassy verge two thirds along farborough bank and we were luckily the first
walker of the day only flushed it off briefly but as we got closer the second
walker sent it off heading east. Now joined by Paul C it presumably the same bird returned an hour later
to land in the same place but as the place became busier it finally got fed up
of being pushed around and left. There were 2 Common Tern on X buoy, at least 8 Yellow Wagtail and also noted were 2 Raven, Buzzard, 2
Shelduck, 5 Lapwing and Oystercatcher. Three Swift flew east over the visitor
centre while in a field below hensborough bank a Peregrine was found feeding on
a Yellow Wag/hammer and watched for over 30 minutes as it cleaned itself
afterwards. Bird show to be a first summer individual.
