Just when you thought the weather was getting good back comes the nasty hot stuff scuppering the job.
A visit to TMR ( permit only) late afternoon was as expected in the conditions. Hot baking sun, 360 deg of clear blue skies and a very light SE>2 halting all movement dead.
A high count of 83 Canada geese had appeared since yesterday whilst there was no sign of CKs Ringed Plover and group of 10 Teal also from yesterday.
Gulls were numerous with around 600, 75% being Black Headed, 20% Lesser Black Backs and 5% Common with C250 Lapwings which gave an amazing aerial display thanks to the local noisy helicopter over although the gulls seemed reluctant to move in the heat.
1 Curlew was calling from the moor with plenty Red Legged Partridge about which if they had any sense they,d move on now before the sad men arrive.
On the way back Raggalds Flood held 33 Canadas.
