Monday 8th August 2011 – Evening


17:00 > 17:30
Cloud, cooler  than of late 16c, NW wind.

Again fairly quiet but a single Common Sandpiper was the first in a while. Two Green Sandpipers also on site. 

A lone Common Tern on one of the spits was kept company by two Little Egret till a Common Buzzard did its usual evening swoop through and sent everything skywards.

A large flock of circa 200 Lapwing descended for a while but then went as quickly as they came leaving just a handful of individuals.

Noticeable on leaving the rising number of Pied Wagtails on the top field south of the farm buildings, especially in the mud of the rapidly decreasing Top Pool.
