Edderthorpe - Late Evening Update

Had another late evening visit to Edderthorpe and registered 6 species of wader, 3 of which I didnt see last night making 13 species in the last 2 days, not bad. Heavens didn't open tonight although still raining steadily and I stayed untill 21.00. Water was still flowing into the flash from the river when I arrived at 19.15 but the river level soon dropped and stopped flowing in. I had two firsts for the year in Common Sandpiper and Swift, full list as follows:- Grey Heron 1, Mute Swan 6, Tufted Duck 54, Shelduck 2, Avocet 4, Redshank 6, Oystercatcher 1, Common Sandpiper 1, Green Sandpiper 3 left north at 20.35, Lapwing 13 including 4 pairs with young, Swift 3.
