Littleferry Birds

We were greeted when we arrived in the car park at Littleferry today by a small skein of pink-footed geese flying overhead, some 35 birds in all, and....

....the first warnings that bird 'flu may be on its way back. Happily, we saw.... 

....no dead birds along the high tide line, not necessarily because bird 'flu has yet to arrive here so much as there being very few birds around. Along with a second, larger, skein of geese the only shore birds we saw were a cormorant, a curlew, and....

....a small flock of about thirty eider.

I checked back on posts written at this time last year and found one relating to a walk at Littleferry when, just like today, there was precious little to report in the way of birds.
