1 of 10 Dunlin.
Curlews back in the air now with young hatched.
Early doors at Fly Flatts with blue skies and sunshine pleasingly clouding over mid watch with a light NW >4.
The shoreline in the SE and SW corners is looking splendid now and becoming more exposed daily but no unusual visitors as yet with just the 3 species of small waders with a count of 10 Dunlin, 7 Common Sandpiper and 5 Redshank. Target birds now being Sanderling, Little Ringed Plover and Turnstone without being too unrealistic.
Two seperate Cormorants came over very high and >NE which was encouraging knowing something is on the move meaning we should be starting to get Common Scoter reports anytime now.
Several Swifts over >N along with Swallows and House Martins but no Sand Martin for me yet this year.

NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
