Single juv Dunlin still present for 3rd day
NW corner, if this doesnt attract waders nothing will.
Estuary conditions
It dont get better than this.
North shore
A bright early afternoon with very little cloud but an icy cold NW>4 at 11 degrees.
The single Dunlin was still present for the third day running and in exactly the same place but no other waders despite the excellent extent of muddy shore showing, though I was told by KM that the story is the same over the Nab at Oxenhope.
Around 150 big gulls on the North shore, all the adults being LBBs apart from a single adult Yellow Legged Herring. The mass of 1cy and 2cy were a mix of Herring and LBB but again, strangely no Black Headed or Common.
I started to walk the west bank to get into camera range but 3 nuggets with drones to the north of the water seemed to enjoy flying them low over the gulls , constantly flushing them onto the water before they eventually flew >NE. Unfortunately my ground to air missile launcher was back in the car.
All quiet otherwise other than 2 Wheatear and swarms of Goldfinch.
