A poor start early morn with mist and drizzle on a mild W>3-4 at 15 degrees. By 0900 hrs the mist had lifted but hanging over as a very low cloud base and damping in the air.
As always, early July is a matter of waiting to see what appears though a time when anything can turn up and surprise you. This morning had nothing new arrived though I'm lucky still having waders at this site with always something to watch.
The 2 families of Oystercatchers were present with 4 adults and 3 juv with one juv missing but seems to hang around on its own for some reason.
The long staying Ringed Plover is still hanging around the south end with much of its new plumage now showing after going through a moult, though more of a spring moult,( partial ), as opposed to a post breeding season moult, ( complete ) as it has been able to fly throughout.
The pair of Common Sandpipers are still keeping watch over their 3 chicks, which are very active now, running around the shoreline.
Plenty Goldfinch and Meadow Pipits around but no warblers today, whilst a Kestrel was hovering below the cloud base.
The dreaded heat is starting to creep in tomorrow with cloudy sunshine on a light NW kicking off at a too warm 16 degrees.
