2 Common Sandpiper were the highlight of our WeBS count at Hook today. A fantastic flock of Golden Plover was very hard to count, estimated over 1,000 birds. 448 Lapwing were easier to count. No Godwits at all, just 2 Grey Plover, no Grey Herons and just 1 Little Egret. Greenshank seem down a bit too, just 3 birds seen. Teal still not here in their usual numbers - 197 counted, where there is usually 400+. (Dave & Lisa)
On the rising tide mid morning hundreds of large gulls on the lagoon at the Gann, mostly adult Lesser Black-backs.
