Hamm Beach

A quick shopping trip this afternoon and an even quicker pit stop at Hamm Beach as the tide was coming in.

Not a lot about with just 4 Oystercatchers, a pair of Herring Gulls, 1 Carrion Crow and a Pied Wagtail on the beach.

Out in the harbour were around 12 Red-breasted Mergansers, being hounded by more Herring Gulls. Whilst close in to the shoreline a Cormorant was catching fish and was also the target by more gulls.

Here are a few images and a video from today:

One of the four Oystercatchers on the beach this afternoon.

These two had a bit of an interaction before I could get the video camera on them. Whatever the issue was they soon got over it and headed off in opposite directions.

Note: there is no sound as the wind was really noisy, so I decided to mute the video.

A pair of pristine looking Herring Gulls.

And also looking good was Ted enjoying a good walk along the shoreline.

Birds Recorded: Cormorant, 12 Red-breasted Merganser, 4 Oystercatcher, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, 1 Pied Wagtail, Magpie, Carrion Crow
