Having been in Madeira and various other places over the last couple of weeks, today was my first patch visit in 15 days. Aware I had missed the first Great White Egret for the site in that period (oops), I was keen to see what was going on down there.
Despite it being quite cool and damp, it was feeling pretty birdy, with lots of mud on the Silt Lagoon and at Mons Pool. As a result, there were actually a few waders around - 1 juv Ruff (the year's first for me), 1 juv islandica Black-wit, 5 Green Sands, 1 juv Greenshank, 1 juv Ringed Plover, 3 Curlew and 1 Snipe. Other bits 'n pieces included a couple of fly-over Yellow Wags and plenty of warblers in the hedges.On to Meering, and another Greenshank was on the Eon Lagoon, and a Turtle Dove was still kicking around.
