Dale peninsula

At Kete late afternoon 3 Golden Plover, 17 Dunlin and 27 Ringed Plover.

Over at the airfield the only waders were 2 Snipe and 2 Curlew.  Fairly slim pickings migrant wise, 15 alba wagtail and 6 Wheatear.

The Gann was better, with 11 species of wader including a Ruff, 4 Black-tailed Godwit, 2 Knot and a Bar-tailed Godwit. 5 Wheatear along the ridge were total beasts with long primary projections.  Hard to be 100% without wing measurements (and weights) but must be strong candidates for the Greenland race leucorhoa.
