Slim Pickings on the Clyde Estuary

The lying snow and frozen ground meant that there were no Geese at all at Nether Southbar this morning. At Newshot Island things were no better. Some idiot with a camera walking onto the main area for roosting birds had seen to that !

At Ardmore Point the tide was distant and this produced c90 Lapwing in the North Bay together with good numbers of Shelduck. A flock of several hundred Wigeon & Teal loafed close to the waters edge and the Greenshank I had heard calling earlier was present with a few Redshank and a couple of Dunlin.

From the point there were perhaps 15 Great Crested Grebe but nothing really else.
