Highlights of an early morning walk around Kinneil Lagoon (apart from a glorious orange sunrise) were two Little Egrets [166], a Greenshank, large flocks of roosing waders including 200 Golden Plover and 50 Knot [167], a Green winged Teal [168], a Kestrel, two Buzzards and my first Fieldfares of the winter (25 over). Had the site to myself for the first two hours after dawn, during which time the birds roosting on the lagoon and those feeding offshore were remarkably confiding. Large flocks of Teal (including the single Green winged Teal) were feeding quite boldly just below the sea wall. The Little Egrets were much less confiding, as was the Greenshank which lifted from the creek as soon as my head appeared over the edge. All in all an excellent morning's birdwatching.
