My internet was cut off last Thursday, coincidently after a scam phone call saying it would be! It turned out to be BT engineers in the green box.
A Dunlin at the weekend (Dave Smith), was our first, believe it not, since September 1998!
Andy Wood and Keith Bannister had a nice surprise this morning at the arrival of 11 Black-tailed Godwits on the wader scrape, a record number and the first to come down to feed since October 1995! They stayed until at 17.30hrs, but were gone on my return at 20.55hrs. Our last fly over was a single in July 2016.
Visiting birder, Ian Morris, saw them too along with a juv. Med Gull this morning.
Also present c150 BH Gulls, 5 Herring Gulls, 15 LBB Gulls and 3 Snipe.
