Second trip to Frampton Marsh - 11 September 2022

 

Hearing that good numbers of waders were gathering at Frampton, I was there just after high tide and counted 18 Little Stints and 35 Curlew Sandpipers, although the latter were generally farther away and only on one occasion did I obtain a passable record shot.  Also seen during the day were large numbers of Dunlin, Ruff, Black-tailed Godwit and Common Snipe.  There was also a little fall of Yellow Wagtail.

After a very poor view of the Black-browed Albatross at Bempton, a Red-tailed Shrike just south of the reserve seemed like a good excuse to give Albert another go.ppl The shrike was perched up on cue as I parrived, but remained in the hedgerow somewhat distantly and a very poor record shot only was obtained. Red-tailed Shrike With the shrike in the bag, I walked back to Staple Newk and people were watchingp the albatross some way out. I thought it was going to be a replay of the previous year, but it proceeded to gain height before doing an amazing fly past of the viewing point.  Amazing bird! Black-browed Albatross On the way back we dropped into North Notts for one of the rare long-staying Caspian Terns.  The bird was along the excellent Slaynes Lane, which is becoming one of the foremost sites in the county.  I watched the bird at clos(ish) range and it was nice to see it both on the deck and in flight.
