Monday 17th June

A summer plumage Golden Plover strutted about calling on the 7th fairway between the mowers for a short while in the morning before flying off high east.  This was the first June record here in 15 years.  Scant recollections of other less notable sightings in the estuary over the high tide included 80 Curlew, eight Mute Swan, two Oystercatcher, a Bar-tailed Godwit and the immature Grey Plover.
