Little Stint photographed last year
Typical that while away on my summer holiday the weather broke here and the birds just dropped in Salford Priors starting on Friday when Mike Inskip recorded 42 Common and 17 Black Tern.
This was followed up by Jon on Sunday whose highlights were: 1 Garganey on Pophills, Red Kite, 1 Curlew Sandpiper, 4 Little Stints, 6 Dunlin, 1 Greenshank (all main pit), 1 juvenile Med Gull (main pit), male Redstart , 2 Whinchat, 1 Wheatear and a Grasshopper Warbler. Also had a good variety of other species including Great Crested Grebe, Shoveler, Pochard, Snipe, Yellow Wagtail, and good counts eg 115 Goldfinches on thistles.
With a few days off before returning to work hopefully I may get another stream of good passage.
