Rest Bay to Sker Point

imag0082

There were 5+ Red-throated Diver offshore in calm conditions. Waders between Pink Bay and Sker were: 35 Oystercatcher, 4 Ringed Plover, 173 Golden Plover, 2 Redshank and 6 Curlew. When I reached the green lifeguard sheds at Pink Bay, I was greeted by the calls of the juvenile female ringed Chough that was ringed at Anglesey this year, she was accompanied by another bird, probably an adult. They were fairly confiding and ranged a couple of hundred yards either side of the sheds and into KNNR. At high tide, the Mediterranean Gulls again flew to feed at the playing fields in Rest Bay numbering 7 in total (6 adults winters including what is probably the annually returning Belgian ringed bird and a second winter bird).
