A walk round the Hook peninsular in yesterday's drizzle gave up: 2 Common Sandpipers in Sprinkle Pill (unusual here), a Common Swift (1st of the year), a Wheatear on Fowborough Point, 4 Whimbrel and a mixed flock of Ringed Plover (18) and Dunlin (35+) on the spit opposite Millin Pill, all bar one of the last in their summer finery.
