Not a bad place when the sun is out
Sunday morning bike ride
The continued warm weather looks to be giving us every chance of some quality wader movement this autumn, we just need some kind winds now. Friday evenings visit confirmed that our Oystercatchers have bred for the first time for four years. Two chicks were showing well on the main island throughout the weekend.
Six Common Terns greeted us on arrival on Saturday but they were the only sighting of any note. On Sunday I opted for a four hour plus cycle ride before I headed down to the patch. Two swimming deer were a bizarre observation & a new Little Ringed Plover chick looked to be doing well. Before leaving, a Greenshank landed to take advantage of one of the new islands & seemed comfortable with our flock of Lapwing that are growing by the day.
