1st Jan 2016 – Water Pipits

Towards the end of 2015, East Chevington was busy with birdwatchers hoping to see one of the Water Pipits which were often seen between the southern part of the reserve, Chevington Burn and Druridge Pools.  On New Year’s Day however two birds were entertaining birders at Druridge Pools from the budge hide, providing for many a life tick to start the year.

Other birds present included Peregrine, Black-tailed Godwit, Scaup, and Shorted eared Owl.
