Wednesday 6th May 09 - Evening - Plover Influx

4:00 to 5:30
Dunlin still present, same location (see below)
Influx of plovers to site, just two viewable at lunchtime but at least five, probably seven LRP/RP's present by the evening.
Also on site three Terns, two commons exchanging fish and a third resting on new mud area that appeared to be uniformly darker grey all round which suggested Arctic. (unless anybody has other ideas).
Also on site.
Yellow Wagtail
Little Egret
Shelduck pair.
Movement of swifts through.
Martins and Swallows over water.
Lapwing x 2.
