Well, maybe they were running before the Perseids or something but the waders fell upon BHM last evening...especially the Ringed Plovers. On Tuesday, our long-staying invalid 'Hopalong' was joined by an adult, making two. On arriving in Island Hide last night I counted 9. Then a mixed flock containing 6 more flew in. Then a lone flock of 6, plus we noticed Hopalong on his own. A total of 22 Ringos is an elevenfold increase in 24 hours. What with 3 Greenshank, 6 Green Sands ( plus 6 more reported from Coly Common = 12 ), 20+ Dunlin, a juvenile female Ruff, Snipe and lots of Redshank and Blackwit plus 8 Lapwing, the mud on Black Hole is being well-exploited now. The Wood Sand I think may be an adult and is still around today ( 13th ) apparently. I'm heading down there now to see what else we've got!
