Port Meadow Birding

A late afternoon visit to the Meadow found the four KNOT still present and feeding near Stint Corner. In addition seven RUFF and the single DUNLIN were reported in the morning (Wain Bull WoM) though not present when I was there. There seemed to be a lot fewer birds around than yesterday so some may have moved elsewhere (temporarily I hope). Three PINTAIL, a single REDSHANK and a few golden plover were also present about. There was a decent sized gull roost though the only bird of interest was a single adult YELLOW-LEGGED GULL though gulls were still streaming in as I was leaving.
