Observation details
Good bin and scope views of these birds roosting and feeding in the estuary over the exposed mud flats. Two birds in breeding plumage with full black caps and the other two immatures with white forehead, crown and thick black eye patch. All birds with black bills, legs and underside of primary tips. Upper wing pale grey and basically white everywhere else. Thankfully the birds had moved closer to the middle of the estuary rather than the western shore where they had been earlier in the afternoon.
