Newgale again

There was a mixed flock of small waders on Newgale Beach again this afternoon comprising 7 Dunlin, all nearing full summer plumage, and 10 Sanderling, some still very pale, but 2 nearing full summer plumage with a little red coming around the head. There was also a lone Whimbrel. Again the Dunlin and Sanderling were ridiculously tame, passing within 20 feet of us as they worked along the tide's edge. Two Skylark were singing over the scrub behind the beach and there was at least one Whitethroat singing from the gorse.
