North Gare - am - a return visit to see the Little Stints in better light. Two were present this morning plus a Curlew Sandpiper but nothing like the number of waders that were there last night.
5-6 Wheatear were scattered about as well between the car park and beach plus one that was finding lots of worms to eat in the car park itself. Whinchat 3-4 were along the fence line by the car park and Meadow Pipit 20-30 were along the entrance road.
Zinc Works Road was very quiet with just a few Linnet, Goldfinch and Meadow Pipit. Lapwing c.50 were sat on the Common with a few Curlew but no sign of any Golden Plover yet.
Dormans Pool - 9.40am - Marsh Harrier hunting below top car park though seen off northwards by two Crows. A Cetti's Warbler was calling quite frequently from beside the car park as well.
RSPB Saltholme - Wildlife Watchpoint - Ruff x4, Greenshank x3, Little Egret x3, Gadwall 8-10, Teal c.12, Wigeon c.12.
