Grey Plover

Just when I was thinking "We've got mud on BHM but no waders" I spotted this cracking breeding-plumaged (almost) Grey Plover alongside its 2 Ringo companions. What with a Lapwing still present this made for a 3 plover species day. Woo-hoo! I also noticed the Brent Goose still present on the estuary by the tramsheds so not too bad a day.
        On Friday evening a late look from Colyton picnic site showed that there were some hirundines about with 8 House Martins and 4 Swallows. None in the town though. Blackcap, Chiffchaff & Bullfinch were present but no Hawfinches seen for a couple of weeks now. That's all for now!
