What a serious change in the weather with South West winds and rain. So sought some shelter and headed for the above as it would be high tide.
Best bird was obviously the three WHIMBRAL. All seen at different times but there where at least two birds. Also of course there cousins with one bird in good fresh colour which is also nice to se rather than the drab bird of the winter. Just one DUNLIN flew in briefly and a two COMMON SAND flew by low calling. Just the one LITTLE EGERET and several REDSHANK with one pair performing just out of sight. REED BUNTING, MEADOW PIPIT, and 4 WHITETHROAT. Again it was good to pick up on 9 STOCK DOVE over in the time there. Also of interest was the lone male GADWALL which kept flying out and back in again.
Not such a bad pic when you consider the conditions.
