 RED BREASTED MERGANSER -Remains faithful to the Wellington Dock,assuming it is the same bird ,I first saw it on the 7th August.
 A member of the SAWBILL family- here`s why they are so called.


 At this time of year when the whiting are in the Shag has learnt to watch the anglers discard the undersize fish and get an easy meal off the PRINCE OF WALES PIER(soon to be permanently closed)
 TURNSTONES also benefit from the anglers scraps.
