Last week, when I arrived on Curlew Island, in the centre of the Broadwater near the Grand Hotel. This junior Willy Wagtail, thought I was mum and followed me around begging for food.
Here is what I found there that day:-
Whimbrels 88, Bar-tailed Godwits 74, Eastern
Curlews 46, Curlew Sandpiper 1, Pied Oystercatchers 6, Australian Pelicans 62, Crested
Terns 43, Gull-billed Terns 19, Caspian Tern 1, Silver Gulls 50, Chestnut Teal
1, Little Black Cormorants 6, Pied Cormorant 1, Whistling Kite 1, Brahminy Kite 1, Welcome Swallows
10, Willy Wagtail 1, Torresian Crow 2. Total Birds 413. Species 18.
It is a pity most people don't realise how rich our Broadwater is.
