The Gann: terns & waders

High tide tonight at the Gann and the mist rolled in. A very quiet roost of Oystercatchers right by the road, but no Godwits seen. Along the beach 4 Ringed Plover and about a dozen very nervous Dunlin. At least 8 Shelduck (but no young seen)in the flooded areas above the low tide foot bridge, and 7 Sandwich Terns flying in. Still plenty of Chiffchaffs singing on both sides of the estuary.
