Newport Yesterday

The gull flock at the bridge included 45 Great BBs; just 1 Skokholm bird, the regular W:055.
There was a large flock of Dunlin/Ringed Plovers on the Boat Club mud - uncountable amongst the samphire, but the previous day I managed 100 Dunlin & 70 Ringed Plovers, with just 1 Sanderling.
Also around for several days, 2 Greenshanks & a Whimbrel. There were also 3 Med Gulls & a Common Sandpiper.
