Down at Dale this afternoon I caught up with Brian's 3 Dotterel, 2 were with 10 Ringed Plover to the east of the triangle adjacent to the rally circuit and another flew over calling and continued in a north-westerly direction heading towards Marloes Mere (ish). Also on the airfield 2 Whinchats, 5 Wheatears, 7 Lapwing, a decent flock of Starlings (no Rose-coloured, I did look...) & at least 5 Snipe. A quick look in Dale village for migrants was very quiet (but always looks promising). Finally, I too saw the 2 Red-throated Divers at the Gann, an adult in almost full breeding plumage showing a juvenile how to fish - the adult was successful, the juvenile was not! Not very often we get any RTDs at this site, especially in October.
