HAYLE ESTUARY 10 OCT 2010

On Sunday morning took a drive down to Hayle Estuary, It all started of very dull and overcast although there was a lot of birds on Ryans Field, including 2 Little Stints,and six Sandwich Terns. It was then over to the causeway where there were 22 Brent Geese and a fly through Black Tern amongst a good build up of other species.
In the evening went to Stithians Watersports Centre where Steve Rogers gave a slide show of his birding holidays in Cyprus which had some superb bird images.
Next was a talk and slide show by Alan Davis and Ruth Miller on their biggest Twitch in which they spent a year breaking the world record for the most birds seen in a single year they managed 4,341 species in many countries around the world.
If you ever get a chance to see this talk and slide show please try as it is a fascinating account of their journey.

Finally just a few images from Sunday at Hayle Est.
