Waders were lively but mainly sticking to the east shore in the lee of the wind with at least 2 Dunlin, 8 Redshank and the usual flotilla of Common Sandpipers very lively moving up and down the peat ledge thats now showing well.
Once again any sky movement was marred with only 20 % cloud cover leaving the sky clear other than Curlew and Lapwing.
Meadow Pipits are still moving through in good numbers with birds of several different origins with browns, greys and greens sometimes throwing you on i.d. I had one today that I could nearly have put as a Water Pipit being a larger bird and very grey and plain backed with an unusual face pattern but the photos I got were inadequate taken through the compound mesh so I talked myself out of it.
Its starting to get that quiet June feeling now which is the birding calendars worst month until the breeding period is over but something can always turn up and if it does I,ll be there, hopefully. Several Swallows about now but not a Swift or Wheatear in sight.
