One of those times you hope for when birding. Within 5 mins... Refound the Pectoral Sandpiper at Swilly 16.30. Two Hobby fly overhead, as I turn the corner a Bittern stood on the path. Then 2 greenshank, 6 blackwits, 6 snipe plus Curlew in the mud. Beardies calling nearbye! Not too shabby.
Incredible array of birds at Beacon Ponds today. The curlew and white rumped sandpiper were the highlights. Marsh harrier over.
I cant remember seeing a little grebe stood up out of water before. Also 2 Egyptian Goose, Wood Sand, Green Sand, Turnstone, LRP, BNG, Garganey, Bearded Tit, etc at Swilly today
