Lower Gorple and Blake Dean area

Plenty of waders up towards Lower Gorple on the moor there including Lapwings, Redshank, Curlews, Oystercatchers, Snipe and 12 Golden Plover in one field earlier today when the fog lifted. The res'r is full to overflowing so not much chance of migrant waders. No sign of migrant Ring Ouzel either.
