A nice selection of waders at the Gann this evening over the high tide. Amongst 10 species the highlights included the male Ruff, 4 Black-tailed Godwits, 4 Common Sandpiper and a single Whimbrel.
Red-billed Chough aren't regular at the Gann so to see a pair with a juvenile was really nice. Where did they breed? Possibly at Great Castle Head, although we haven't seen the pair in that area during the breeding season.
After being present at the Gann on Saturday, the Western Reef Heron seems to have gone walkabout again. I checked Sandy Haven this afternoon without success, and it wasn't visible at the Gann this evening either. A report of it at the Nevern Estuary yesterday may suggest it's gone north again...
