July 2nd - I paid another visit this afternoon just before school pick-up. There was a little spotting of rain, but not much. Birds were pretty much as I'd seen this morning, with Green Sand still present, though I couldn't see the juv LRP, but it might still be there.
At 14:35, I looked up and spied a large wader flying fairly high up northwards. Through bins it was obviously a Curlew - my first of the year. I soon lost it behind trees, as I was on the viewpoint, but shortly later I heard it calling to the north of the pit, so it presumably went straight through. My 18th wader species of the year and I should get Black-tailed Godwit, Greenshank and Golden Plover to add to this, plus maybe something a bit more unusual.....
