A look around the mere with Paul in the hope of some migrants, started promisingly enough with fleeting views of a plain looking warbler in the willows out from the Britton Hide, just by luck I managed to get a couple of distant photos but after over an hour that was to be the best views we had. Reed warbler? (or something better?).
Martin's Haven and the Deer Park were quiet in a quick look around.
Last stop was the Gann for high tide, 2 more Green Sandpipers probably flushed by the rising tide from the pools did a few fly arounds, at one stage we thought there may have been a third. 2 Knot (adult and a juv) were new from yesterday and the first 2 Snipe of the autumn. 34 Dunlin, 16 Ringed plover, 14 Redshank, 11 Turnstone, 4 Common sandpiper, 3 Greenshank. 130 Curlew up on the marsh. 3 young Grey herons. Little egret up to 9.
