Des - with the Oystercatcher, were the two young from the Broadmeadow and one newly hatched in Amy's Marsh (or the other way around)?
How many Common Tern chicks have hatched to date - is it just the initial 3?

Two Broadmeadow chicks and one Amy's Marsh.
I would say the current chicks are two of the. original three.

Mike W reports 12 Curlew in the Flashes roost this evening and a second summer Med Gull (presumably one of the breeding pair from the Moors). Also Redshank, Common Gull and Barwit still.

Red-Crested Pochard still at the Moors Pool as per Sue Hyde - can't remember many / any birds lasting into a third day.
Green Sand at the Flashes as per Gert

With reference to the Med Gulls, the evening of Sunday 18th June had 3 Adults (the breeding pair and Billy no mates) at the Flashes and a pair of second summer also. The second summer birds were displaying/pair bonding and I wondered if they were the Moors birds or a new pair?
