Oare Marshes
Oare Marshes again. Can't keep away from the place. It was once again ripe with waders. Pride of place went to my second Long-billed Dowitcher that was seen while roosting within the large group of waders. A juvenile Curlew Sandpiper flew into the foreground and scampered around a small island. Smart little birds.
Wader numbers had really built up now with crude estimates of 500+ Golden Plover, 300+ Black-tailed Godwit, and 80+ Dunlin, were present along with 15 Ruff, 30+ Ringed Plover, a single Greenshank, and a juvenile Little Ringed Plover.
In addition, five Yellow Wagtail flew over and the regular Bearded Tit were active in the reeds.
On the swale, terns were on the move with the highlight of two Black Tern accompanied by six Sandwich Tern, and a dozen Common Tern. Around 15 Swallow looked as they would be around for a little while longer.
