A combination of half-term and being away has kept me from the patch for a while. The highlights since my last post that I have failed to write-up have been few, but here they are:
May 22nd - a quick pre-work visit as waders were on the move in the area produced just a single summer-plumaged Dunlin
May 28th - more waders on the move today on a day that started off wet, but then cleared. I stood under a brolly for an hour in the morning watching 3 Ringed Plovers and a single LRP. Plenty of low flying hirundines, particularly House Martins and I spent a while hoping to pick up an orange rump, but to no avail. In the evening, a text from Alan S during dinner informed me of a flock of 5 Sanderling. I made my way down an hour later to find that they had flown off. The Ringed Plover had also departed some time prior to Alan's arrival.
And I haven't been down since......
