Sunday 16th March: Sand Martins + Curlew
What a difference a day makes! Heavy and persistent over-night rain had turned the Meadow back into a lake.
There were a good number (~15) of newly arrived sand martins hawking over the water, a pleasant reminder that spring is just around the corner. A single calling CURLEW flew in to land at around mid-day.
2 ruff also seen (OOS).
