Fri 4th Sept - Afternoon - Hobby


2:00 > 3:00pm
Cloudy, brisk cool westerly wind.

First visit in over a week and things are changing once more re the landscape. In the area that was once the original 'wader pit', the area to right of Godwit Corner is having the gravel gradually drawn back southwards from what was the deep pit at the rear. This is leaving a series of flooded channels and pools that could be attrative to migrants once migrations get in full swing. Watch this space.

On the bird front, apart from a handful of Lapwing dotted about the only wader seen was a Green Sandpiper on the solitary pool south of farm buildings.
Down in the workings themselves the usual collections of gulls, almost all BHG's were sent skywards after the low fast swoop of a passing Hobby leaving three Little Egrets unflustered on the mud.
