An early morning text from my friend James Burke started it off.... he said he'd seen 7 unusual geese flying across Rock & into the Camel estuary.
This was echoed a short while later from another friend Jo Wilson who was on a boat moored up in the estuary. Jo said she'd seen 7 birds that she was convinced were Ruddy Shelducks... a very unusual sighting for Cornwall.
A while later she sent me a video & she was correct in her identification so I put the report out to my birder friends.
That evening the birds came into roost at our CBWPS reserve at Walmsley sanctuary.
I went to see early on the Wednesday morning and sure enough they were there but only 6 of them, where the 7th had gone I don't know.
They were still there all of Thursday even when we had a work party cutting juncus at the far end of the site.
It is thought that these birds were recently seen in Dorset & Sussex.
Where they originated from is unknown & where they are going... the same!
Anyway lets enjoy their beauty while they grace our county!

You write this post very carefully I think, which is easily understandable to me. Not only this, but another post is also good. As a newbie, this info is really helpful for me. Thanks to you. Browning Trail Camera
