juv Wheatear
A pleasing morning weather-wise with a moderate SW>3-4 with near full cloud and odd glimpses of the sun at 12 degrees.
Once again, very hard work finding anything although I don,t have the problem of scanning all the shore whilst its all underwater. This time last year I had Greenshank, Sanderling, Dunlin, Common Sandpiper and the first returning Redshank so a big disappointment this year so far.
The pale phase Buzzard was out over the moor with a near complete white underbody whilst 2 Kestrels were overhead. Just the usual 3 Oystercatchers on the cobbled bank and 3 juv Wheatear an that was it other than the usual Geese, Mipits etc. Strangely, not a Swift for days now.
