Turnstones.

Report. A.Tonry. 5th September 2010

"My list for Par this evening (from memory!) – The hybrid Greylag Goose and Bar Headed Goose are still present at the pool, as is the Canada Goose with the injuries who does not appear to be able to fly and is still limping. We (Trevor, Angie and Roger) watched the Canada Geese leave the pool in small groups, as always, but this one stayed behind again with 4 friends who were staying close to him/her. There are still 5 Cygnets on the Pool. There were 3 Grey Herons and Roger said we had just missed 2 Little Egrets. Many BH Gulls and 1 Cormorant. We didn’t stay there long and I was busy talking to Roger for most of it! From the top car park and from the beach: Fulmar x 1, Sandwich Tern x 3, Oystercatcher x 3, Pied Wagtail x 12, Swallow x 6, Great Black Backed Gull x 3, Starling x c100/120 (not sure!), Dunlin x 1, Turnstone x 8, Lesser Black Backed Gull x 2, Cormorant x 2, Rock Pipit x 1, Black Headed Gulls (lots!)."

Thanks for the report Angie.

At long last we have connected again with some waders.
