A couple of
Greenshanks on Coly Common scrape on Sunday were very welcome; in fact, they have proved to be the precursors of some long-awaited wader movement on the Axe. Nothing on Black Hole Marsh though, it's all on the estuary last night and today. A spring-plumaged
Sanderling accompanied a small Dunlin/Ringed Plover flock Tuesday evening, also a
Barwit and the
Grey Plover shown above. The plover wouldn't show its underwing and as we haven't had one for a while I struggled to remember why the white band across its uppertail was significant. Then I recalled that this diagnosed Grey Plover! It's OK to take your time if you get there in the end. Anyhow, today I returned to Tower hide and the Dunlin count had gone up exponentially. Among them were a summer plum
Knot and a Turnstone.. What next?
