Fly Flats

Most of the Dunlin from yesterday had gone overnight leaving 5 there this morning.

14 Ringed Plover were around the rocks near the boat house and 1 Little Ringed Plover was with them. (I got some shots of the 2 species together but not had chance to sort through them yet) Will post these later if they are any good! Other usual waders present were 4 Redshank and 4 Common Sandpipers with others nearby including Curlew, Lapwing, Golden Plover.

1 White Wagtail was present on the mud at the far end of the res'r and on the far bank. This was a superb male showing a large black bib, the black on the back of the head was cleanly cut behind the neck to the very pale grey on the back.
