The two stars of the show have been singles of both Turnstone and Sanderling on consecutive days (10/05 & 11/05). Turnstone is apparently almost annual here however Sanderling is an absolute mega for the site. Both were seen during what was excellent late spring passage conditions, with a strongish E / NE wind, with plenty of cloud & rain. It could be argued we were a bit unlucky not to have had a little more, however shouldn't complain!
Other recent highlights for me have included a single Arctic Tern singing Grasshopper Warbler between the res and the M40, a couple of Dunlin, regular LRPs a Channel Wagtail & several regularly approachable Yellow Wagtail by the Borrow Pit.
With us now on the verge of the summer doldrums, will there but one last goodie before we can start dreaming about autumn!?
