Little Egret

                                                                               Redshank.


         Despite the easterly wind, the clear skies ensured little in the way of grounded migrants.   All I could find at the south end were 4 Lesser Whitethroats, 2 Common Whitethroats and singles of Common Redstart, Robin and Goldcrest.   1,200 Golden Plovers and 7 Pied Wagtails were on the fields while birds on the flashes included 29 Teal, 14 Redshanks, one Greenshank, one Green Sandpiper and 4 Dunlin.   A Peregrine passed over the dunes and 24 Swallows flew south.

         Between Stonebridge and Pye's Hall, Graham Catley added a Pied Flycatcher and Marsh Harrier and John Clarkson saw a Hobby.
