Bewholme pond had reports of Temminck's Stint today and after dipping them at Hornsea mere this afternoon. I set off lateish and managed 40mins before sunset. No sign of the Temminck's but plenty of good birds present. 1
Wood Sandpiper was pratting about round the edges, plus 2
Greenshank, 4
Redshank, 4
Common Sandpipers and a single
Little Ringed Plover. Rather bizarrely 8 species of duck were on the farm pond (
Wigeon,
Pintail,
Teal,
Shoveller,
Tufty,
Mallard,
Gadwall &
Shelduck). It is possible that the Temminck's were still present as the waders all roosted in an area out of sight. A small number of
Yellow Wagtails were feeding amongst the livestock and 2
Little Grebes were blogging about. For a farm pond it looks amazing - I may have to keep closer tabs...
ps have the pictures from ringing on Monday.
