Wednesday 3rd September: Garganey & Greenshanks still
This morning overcast and cool.
The same birds as recently still present: the 2 GARGANEY still by the mouth of Burgess creek, at least 3 GREENSHANKS present (perhaps yesterday's incomers have scared off our resident bird), 8 RINGED PLOVER and several SNIPE. There were about a dozen wigeon feeding on the grass on the south shore.
