26th November 2019 - Coalhouse Fort, Essex

Another visit to Coalhouse Fort today was productive. The main interest coming from the paddocks seen here were two Twite and a Water Pipit as well as 20 Chaffinch, 20 Linnet, 12 Meadow Pipit and 20 Goldfinch.

The mudflats were lively with 2027 Dunlin, 1650 Avocet and 13 Bar-tailed Godwit being the main birds of interest. Whilst out on the river was a single Gadwall (possibly my first here) and a redhead Goosander which flew west. A superb male Marsh Harrier was active over the saltings whilst a few Stonechat and four Cetti's Warblers occupied the SSSI area.
