Sun is drenching the Bay, I have noticed the Cormorants are hanging around on the depth post at the end of the stone groin. Summer time is quiet for our feathered friends, generally they are off having their families. We have loads of sea bird that overwinter in the Bay; Oyster Catchers Dunlins, Shellducks, Curlews, Red Shanks, Knots etc.
During spring it was interesting to watch the transition of the Little Gulls markings from the spot behind the eye, which makes them look so pensive, to the full dark head they exhibit during breeding season.
We have a fabulous bird sanctuary called Leighton Moss on the Bay many of the birds that use this sanctuary also spread out along our shores to feed following the tides in and out busying about like frenzied shoppers in the January Sales!
