Monday 16th May

The wood sandpiper didn't stay long but on my evening visit I found the GREENSHANK still present and 3 DUNLIN dropped in whilst I was there. There were 3 OYSTERCATCHERS at the North end though one of them (perhaps the "resident" bird) seemed to take exception to the presence of the other two and kept chasing them agressively. Richard Foster reported a golden plover as well. The EGYPTIAN GOOSE was still around and there were a few larger gulls in amongst the black-headed gulls. Apart from that it was rather quiet.
