Ferrybridge Sandflats

I managed to get out this afternoon and on the way back from Weymouth I dropped into Ferrybridge.

As expected there wasn't too much around other than 3 Oystercatchers close in and hundreds of Mediterranean Gulls on the mudflats in front of the Chesil Observation Centre where there were also a few Dunlin running around.

Birds Recorded:
3 Cormorant
3 Oystercatcher
20+ Dunlin
100+ Mediterranean Gull
Herring Gull
Great Black-backed Gull
Wood Pigeon
2 Pied Wagtail

Just a few of the 100+ Mediterranean Gulls in front of Chesil Beach Observation Centre

An adult Winter Mediterranean Gull a bit closer in.

Two Oystercatchers heading off to the sandflats.


General Shots:

Portland is out there somewhere. So foggy!!
