Usual Redshanks
and Common Sandpipers
Curlews busy breeding
Plenty Swallows through
A cloudy but bright morning with good visibility on a cool NW>4 at 5 degrees.
A much quieter morning with a clear out of several waders leaving me with just 2 Common Sandpipers and 4 Redshank and no sign of the Dunlins or Oystercatchers. Even small passerines were absent with no Stonechats or Reed Buntings though plenty Mipits and Pied Wagtails.
A cross over of Swallows heading >N on a low level and Swifts heading >SW on a high level with a good count of both species.
Otherwise just the usual geese, Mallards etc so a bit of a damp squib this morning.
About the same forecast for tomorrow with a light NE at 5 degrees clouding in the afternoon.
