Young Lapwing was the only wader I could see at the mere, the regular 6 Swifts were absent and look to have moved on (still screaming around St Thomas Green, Hwest at 10pm). 100 Starling in Trehills fields near Martins Haven. 2 young begging for food from their Chough parents by the earthworks. Flock of 75 Linnet in grassy pasture just beyond mere put up by Buzzard. A bright Willow warbler in the Withies.
The Gann: As Dereks visit earlier but a breeding plumage Barwit was with the two Whimbrel, 3 Dunlin only small waders. Quite a few ringed Oystercatchers (A2, 10, 25, 49, 63, 68 all black on red) and couple of Curlew (06, 17 white on black). There were probably dozen more ringed Oystercatchers whose numbers weren't visible and another Curlew.
