Yellowhammers at Saltern's Way

The Bill was generally poor this morning (maybe the incoming cold might stop the mediocrity) but three late Swallows were nice to note. Along the Marina trail were 33 Curlews, at least a dozen Yellowhammers, two Cetti's Warblers, two Siskins near the stables and the usual Brent Geese and Wigeon. Two Goosanders were with c.10 Red-breasted Mergansers off Dell Quay and a few Stonechats were further up at the outfall. The Grey Partridges were still in the new crop field and there were 00's of corvids, Wood Pigeons & Stock Doves on the plough. A Mediterranean Gull was perched on the groynes at the Bill yesterday.
