Did a late afternoon high tide count of waders etc. Not very much of note - just a few ringed plovers, 20 curlew and 35 oystercatchers. Three teal were flushed from a temporary dune slack pool.
Ravens on eggs at Furzenips where the local pair of chough were busy nest-building (fine grasses carried by the female into the usual crevice so the nest is probably close to being finished now).
In Linney Dunes at least 15 wheatears noted - at least 9 were females, rest males. Surprisingly there were no sand martins over Frainslake millpond.
Earlier, Cosheston Pill was also fairly quiet - around 20 redshanks, 7 mute swans, 2 little egrets being the only birds of note.
