I have seen the magnificent flock of Golden Plover on the west bank of the Cleddau from Landshipping several times in recent weeks. I have not made a serious attempt to count them, my various estimates range from 800-1000 to 1800+.On October 31, by estimating blocks of 50 and then a hundred, first of the birds in the mud, but mostly when flying (they often fly in the air), I thought there were about 2000-2300.. . But how accurate is it? I got a flight shot of the flock, so to try to answer this I edited the best photo…
