There have been some large flocks of white-fronted geese seen over the last few days in Essex. Yesterday morning, approx 60 flew over Wat Tyler Country Park from Vange Wick heading towards Bowers Marsh.Also seen were, 2 grey plover, 2 avocet and 4 dunlin in the creek while an adult winter Mediterranean gull was on the scrape.
Of local interest forty waxwings were seen recently in Pitsea, they were seen briefly near the Tesco garage, but not since. Definately worth keeping your eyes peeled.
May we wish you a wonderful Christmas and a bird-filled New Year from all the staff at RSPB South Essex Marshes.
Next event is a guided walk tomorrow Boxing Day, starting at 10.30 and lasting around two hours, there is no need to book, just come along.
