Dale airfield and the Gann

2 Southern Migrant hawkers on the airfield late afternoon (found by Huw earlier who also had a female egg laying so looks like they have colonised), also 4 emperors (3m). Gann at high tide, the pools were getting a long overdue topping up. 30 redshank, 10 dunlin, 5 ringed plover, 4 greenshank, 3 common sandpiper and 2 sanderling. A big bull seal hunting close in eventually caught a large mullet. The chough family were present, the ground everywhere must be like concrete.
