Going by yesterday's events, it's quite possible that there is a Ruff lurking somewhere on site.

As I will be in Stockport tomorrow cheering on Worcester City FC I did my own all-dayer today, logging 67 species in all. Highlights were the lone Barnacle Goose, Little Egret & 3 Barnacle Geese at the Moors Pool - hope they are all still there tomorrow - 2 Dunlin, 2 Green Sands, Common Sand, Avocet & 17 Curlews at the Flashes. Unfortunately there was no sign of either Dunlin at the end of the day.
Birds I didn't see included Peregrine, Kingfisher & Willow Warbler -all of which were seen by others on site today. I also missed out on Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Whitethroat, Redstart, Grey Wagtail, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Hobby and Rook to name a few. So, hopefully, with many eyes looking you should get somewhere near 80 species tomorrow.
Good luck to everyone involved. I'll be checking my mobile for updates on a regular basis I'm sure. John, can you get a copy of the annual report for me please. I'll pay you next time I see you.
All the best,

Sorry guys, another delay I'm afraid - slow going liaising with the printer via the Trust. Printing should commence over the next week; copies available when the mega Yank wader turns up later in the month. If anyone knows of a reliable, cheap printer that would be of great assistance for future publications.

Since 8am additions include Hobby, Redstart and Kestrel - total now 72.

5 late Swift help increase the total to 83 - perhaps the record of 89 is achievable....
Belvide on 82 with only two species of wader!!
