Gann

About a week ago 2 Redshank returned to the Gann after an absence of a few months (both adults).  On Thursday they increased to 5, amongst which was a colour ringed individual (orange above left knee, black above right knee with white 50 - confirmed as ringed by Theresa Sherman at the Gann on 14/10/18 as a 3 year old - I have no idea how it was aged, but I am impressed!).  Also a Greenshank, which was still present yesterday with the 5 Redshank, and a Common Sandpiper, a new addition to our Crabhall list this week which now becomes 90, after Spotted Flycatcher was added earlier in the week (breeding next door).  It's all go, and it's still June!
