23/10/23 : Dawn at the Esk estuary with lots of birds in flight over the river , Muncaster, Cumbria

23/10/23 : Dawn at the Esk estuary and lots of birds on flight, of course most of them waders of some short. The river itslef was quiet with lots of Mallards on the water, and Redshanks on the banks but most of the activity was over the river which was on the waning tide.
Cormorants and Wigeon were in their hundreds, Little Egrets in dozens and everything else in ones an twos.
Didn’t see any Otters today, but the walk back was made brighter with Stonechats flying in and out of the brambles in the morning sunshine.
