Friday afternoon update - April 24th 09

Things return to their quiet normal self after the mini gold rush this morning.
Just a single Lapwing and LRP the only waders.
And just to rub salt in the wound of the only other birder present who was targeting Yellow Wagtails, three Grey's flew across Godwit Corner as I left and then probably might in front of him. It was the first visit in a couple of weeks when none were present.

And a completely new species to the western palearctic viewed briefly on top of the high banking along the north shore. The lesser sunburnt twonk, a male respendent in full summer plumage of just sandals shorts and sunhat looked as if he was looking for a mate, but if you do see this species please flush as its the last one we want to breed.
