8c Cold northerly, spitting rain.
Gravel extraction now apace in the old inlet area with a large digger filling a shuttle service of three large lorries.
The birds don't seem to care though as there were many dotted about the mud and especially round the newly isolated Wader Pool, see post below.
At least three Little Ringed Plover in this area alone along with a single Common Redshank and ever increasing Green Sandpipers which now must be in double figures round the site as everytime you focus in on something a Greensand is there too.
Out on the mud six Yellow Wagtails amongst the multitude of Pieds whilst Meadow Pipit numbers are getting higher too. No sign of the Goosander but other wildfowl as per this morning, again see below. Along the far eastern banking next to the tracks to the pumps Reed Buntings continue their cat and mouse games. A few Swallows still about along with a smattering of Sand and House Martin. A Common Buzzard was over.
