Sunday 27th July: Oystercatchers
This morning gloriously hot with hardly a breeze.
Despite the hot conditions there turned out to be quite a few waders present: 1 juvenile LITTLE RINGED PLOVER hanging out on its own by stint corner. 3 DUNLIN (2 s/p adults and a juvenile) along the north shore and also 2 COMMON SANDPIPERS and 2 OYSTERCATCHERS in the same area. Still plenty of LITTLE EGRETS and a large number of black-headed gulls. The COMMON TERNS still around and plenty of lapwings dotted about.
