Avocet at Sprinkle Pill....

The same bird that Dave saw last week still there - so was everything else! 16 Pintail, Teal in large measures too, I was so busy looking for a Greenwing that I never counted them, but upwards of 300. 50 Golden Plover, Dunlin - again 300+ . c20 Shelduck, 250 Lapwing, 50 Wigeon, hordes of Redshank. Iwould`ve liked to have stayed longer & had a better count, but fading light & hunger pulled me away. I must thank Peter & Debbie Horton for dragging me away from the Gann, we caught the tide just right. Well worth another visit!
