Pete Louds early start was rewarded with an extra LRP (an adult) first thing, and by late morning 6 were dotted around the scrape plus the 1 Green & 2 Common Sands. Birds of the day waited for the shower dodgers to arrive before putting in an appearance, first a juvenile Cattle Egret shortly followed by a cracking sum plumage adult. Also of note c20 Common Gulls, 5+ Med Gulls (incl. 1 Juv.) joined the large Blk Headed Gull flock. PL/RJ/MO'H/MR.
