When I go down to Titchmarsh to check the boat I like to peek over the side and see what birds are around. Last year, I never saw the usual flock of golden plovers that like to roost on the Twizzle, but this year they are back in force. The second picture shows a bit more than half the flock, so maybe a thousand birds. Something must have spooked them because they all took off, flew round in a circle and then came down again to land. There were plenty of my favourite duck, the pintail in the creek too, along with widgeon, teal, Brent, godwits, shelduck, little grebes, knots, dunlin, curlew, grey plovers, but no avocets,though I saw some a few weeks ago.
