Monday 18th May: Ringed Plover
Another day of blustery south west wind but with sunny intervals which made it more pleasant when in a sheltered spot.
The recent rain has topped the floods up a bit but there are still large areas of barren looking mud. There was a single RINGED PLOVER on the main pool around Burgess Channel. Given how scarce anything is we have to be thankful for anything that turns up! Nothing of note within Burgess Field but I expect that the birds had their heads down given the wind.
Sunnier conditions meant that I was able to get a better digiscoped shot of today's ringed plover © Adam Hartley
