Dunlin delight at Grimley

Dunlin

After a long day birding on Saturday I was back on cricket taxi service on Sunday. A relaxed start to the day was just what I needed. Once dropping the lad at Ombersley I made the short drive to Grimley. On the east shore were 11 Dunlin that seemed to be part of the large passage of the species this week. Large numbers of Swifts, Swallows, House martin and Sand martin were feeding above the water with 4 Common Tern. Elsewhere I found 2 Redshank, Ringed Plover, 4 Oystercatcher and a Common Sandpiper.
