Made a tour of the south shore of Morcambe Bay this morning. I started in the Pilling area with 1000's of Pink-feet in the air constantly, although I failed to find a decent flock to sift through on the ground. Many waders were pushed close to the sea wall with the ten metre tide, including about 600 Golden Plovers.
Several Grey Plovers, Oystercatchers, Lapwings, Dunlins and Knot were present in hundreds with a nice roost of Curlew on Pilling Marsh too. About 30 Whoopers were on Pilling Marsh too and 6 Twite flew by. I moved to Cockersands where Merlin and 4 Twite were the most noteworthy birds as the skies darkened.
I finished the day at the Conder Estuary where a couple of Spotted Redshank and a Greenshank were in the creeks with the Redshanks and Teal.
