Aln too late

Busy all weekend but I was free later this afternoon so popped down to Alnmouth. Light was fading, it was very cold and high cloud was blocking out any late evening sunlight there may have been. It was quite nice sitting viewing the estuary from the cycle path, 2-300 Teal were dabling around the shallows, I think the tide was on its way in.
Gulls were floating overhead and landing on an exposed sand bar. 60-70 Curlew lifted from the Cricket pitch and dropped into the estuary.
3 Grey Heron and 3 Little Grebe were nice to see, Redshank, Mallard, Wigeon all went into the notebook. I must get this list started, see how many I have for the patch..
