Distant Redshank on a sandbank.
1 of 3 Common Sandpiper
Over 500 Canadas present
2 pr Pied Wag + 7 juvs
A better than expected morning, weather wise, with a light SE>3 keeping it cool from the wall to wall sunshine at 15 degrees.
A busy enough morning though mostly distant, active, or marred by the heavy heat shimmer making the camera near redundant.
A scope from the peninsular produced 3 Redshank, 3 Common Sandpiper and 2 Oystercatchers as well as Lapwing and Curlew, whilst a rough count of geese came up with over 500 Canada and around 150 Greylag but a very low count of goslings, Canadas being down to single figures.
A heart stopping moment with a tern like bird on the buoy that held a Sandwich Tern back in 2018, but a quick grab of the scope found it to be a Black Headed gull, whilst 4 LBB gull were out on the water.
Empty skies today with no Swallows or Swifts.
Not looking much better for tomorrow with possibly a touch more cloud on a light SE and starting off at a crippling 18 degrees.
