I did Davids WeBS this afternoon between Hook Quay and Sprinkle, lovely afternoon and plenty of birds. Mostly made up by Golden plover (2760), Lapwing (1910) and dunlin (1180), these were my counts but I took some photos and will try and do a more leisurely check. Selected others - 922 teal, 112 mallard, 102 shelduck, 71 wigeon, 22 pintail, 8 shoveler. 81 redshank, 50 curlew, 40 oystercatchers, 4 grey plover, only a single black-tailed godwit. 360 Canada geese up in the fields above Sprinkle and only one greylag calling. A peregrine flushed all the waders and teal at high tide.
