Wednesday and Thursday were very quiet with just the odd
RINGED PLOVER and
LITTLE RINGED PLOVER to be found on the fast diminishing floods. Today there was some decent rain at last which topped things up and there was a bit more to look at in the form of a total of 7
DUNLIN and one
RINGED PLOVER. However the highlight was a
MEDITERRANEAN GULL in amongst the
black-headed gulls which, judging by the amount of black in its wings, is moulting into first summer plumage. At this time of year with the June doldrums basically already upon us this was a most welcome find.
