Ad Common Sands
Twite creeping back
LBBs moving over
Good Swift movement
A terrible morning starting on arrival at 0700hrs with near gale force WSW>7 and drizzle. By 0745 the wind had veered SW>5 with heavy rain followed by horizontal pounding drizzle, and by 0945 dense fog, lovely.
Good to see Common Sandpiper have bred despite the high water level and a pair of Twite came onto the seed.
Swifts were piling over >W and strangely only 1 Curlew was seen, maybe due to the weather or some have started to move.
