NATURE WATCH NOVEMBER

Five members turned up for the meeting a circular walk around Normany Marsh Lymington.

I nearly said hardy souls, but the weather was so good it was a pleasure.

Sorry no pictures this month there was too much to do and see, there was so many birds around in the marsh some that close binoculars were not necessary and arriving in flocks plus enjoying the sunshine.

The sightings on the walk included

Swans, Brent geese, egret, teal, mallard, widgeon, shoveler, shell duck, tufted duck, lapwing,

Red shank, a group of 60+ curlew, moor hen, robin , song thrush, black bird, and one special sighting had a black body with yellow upper, which was identified as a dredger this high was followed by Munjac deer, gorse in yellow bloom and rosehips.

The next nature watch will be at Eling meeting at the toll bridge Totton side 10am 19^th December.
