Aahh how nice to get out in the sun after 2 days of miserable rain! Down at Kilpaison this morning a nice little group of waders on the beach just after high tide - 78 Dunlin, 9 Ringed Plover, 3 Turnstone. On the mud as the tide dropped 1 Barwit in summer plumage, 2 Whimbrel and an adult Med Gull.At Angle Harbour I spent a pleasant couple of hours parked on the shingle spit with amazingly close views of 35 Dunlin, 23 Ringed Plover and 1 Sanderling. Also there 2 Common Sandpipers, 1 Whimbrel, 1 adult Med Gull and 3 Little Egrets.
At Freshwater West the Sand Martin colony just below the Seaweed hut seems to be doing well with birds still going into the holes - feeding a second brood, I guess.
