Tuesday 17th May

Another end of day visit to the Meadow which was somewhat spoilt by a dog owner allowing their dog to run amuck all over the floods. Despite this there were still some passage waders to look at: the GREENSHANK was still there for the third day and fresh in today were 16 RINGED PLOVER, 5 DUNLIN and 1 COMMON SANDPIPER. The EGYPTIAN GOOSE was still around and there was one YELLOW WAGTAIL. To round things off the usual OYSTERCATCHER was in it's usual spot. A COMMON TERN was also about.
