Birds by the estuary

Near to me is an estuary and we get many migrant and native waders and other water birds. I’ve taken a few short videos recently.

First up is an oystercatcher walking along the edge of the river looking for food.

Next is a curlew, it wasn’t far from the oystercatcher and again was looking for food.

There are a flock of brent geese that have been around all winter, roosting overnight in the field behind me before travelling down to the water for the day. These few were swimming on the water.

This is one of the egrets that live at the estuary. It had chased off another egret, then stood around before taking flight.
