Sunday 3rd May: Plovers & Dunlin
An evening visit to the Meadow found the weather to be sunny but with a stiffening breeze.
There were actually some waders on the floods this evening which made a pleasant change: a LITTLE RINGED PLOVER right down at the south end of the west shore and a DUNLIN and RINGED PLOVER mid way along the west shore. There were also 3 COMMON TERNS actively picking insects off the water's surface.
