Tues 30th May 23

The tundra Ringed Plover was still on the winter flash over the road this morning but it won't be long before it dries out by the looks of it.

A strong wind and heavy cloud had me heading for the hide, things looked much the same as of late, we seemed to be missing 2 or 3 Canada Goose goslings and there was no sign of the Oystercatcher chick with the two adults hopefully all keeping out of the wind. I was counting the extra Avocet when a flash of yellow caught my eye at the back of the scrape which turned out to be a Yellow Wagtail (thunbergi).

From the hide: 5 Canada Geese, 1 Greylag (+ Goslings), 20 Shelducks (+ducklings), 18 Gadwall, 10+ Mallard, 1 Wigeon, 32 Avocet, 2 Lapwing, 2 Redshank, 2 Oystercatcher, Moorhen (with chicks), 2 Coot, 1 Grey Heron, 2 Cuckoos, 3 LBB Gulls, 2 Med Gulls, 30+ Swallows, 1 House Martin, all the usual Warblers, 1 Kestrel and Grey-headed Wagtail.
