Tuesday 26th May

Briefly, before the heat of the day returned, sightings on the rising tide produced 197+ Oystercatcher and only singles figures of Whimbrel, Curlew, Sanderling, Dunlin and Ringed Plover.  A distant raft of 36 Shag and a Sandwich Tern in off were the only notables offshore.  At least a couple of the semi-resident Raven continued to preside over the site.  A Stock Dove feeding in the saltmarsh behind the golf course follows a series of records for this species here.
