25c warm, broken cloud, west breeze.
A fine summer plumaged Black Tailed Godwit is hopefully the sign of things to come in the coming weeks. A clean crisp looking bird especially when the sun broke through and a real bonus given that increasing groundwork leaves less of an area for attracting waders in. A Common Sandpiper, a pair of Common Redshank and three Green Sandpipers kept the pristine sumplum Blackwit company on the wader pool.
By the inlet a handful of Lapwing and a single Little Egret looked on.
Also a bit of drama over the Sandmartin colony as a lone Hobby tried in vain to nab a late lunch.
