Following an enforced, manflu-related, absence (feel free to send flowers and chocolates) I finally got back down the patch today,…
Waders present included: 45 Avocet, nine (then seven) Knot (see below). two Little Stint, one Curlew Sandpiper, one Ruff, 31 Black-tailed Godwit, one Bar-tailed Godwit, one Spotted Redshank and six Greenshank. The Knot count fell before our very eyes as an adult Peregrine knocked two off over the course of the high tide. The only other semi-notable non-passerines consisted of one Hobby and one Kingfisher.
Migrant passerines included singles of Redstart, Whinchat, Wheatear, Lesser Whitethroat, Whitethroat and Willow Warbler; a few each of Yellow Wagtail, Blackcap and Chiffchaff; and a steady flow of Swallow, with a sprinkling of House Martin, overhead.
