Common Tern ARC
Most avian interest seems to be at the ARC, where at least 4 Glossy ibis can be seen, 4 Cattle Egret (lunchtime they were with the cows in the Boulderwall Fields) as well as Great and Little Egrets, a trickle of waders, 2 Wood Sandpipers, 4+ Common Sandpipers, Green Sandpiper, Dunlin, Little Ringed and Ringed Plovers. Garganey can be found among the throngs of eclipse wildfowl, up to 30 Mediterranean Gulls have been seen there, Terns are represented by a paltry 3-4 Common Terns, evening sees unto 200 Sand Martins feeding over the lake and the odd Hobby.
A wander around Dengemarsh saw just 3 Yellow wagtails of note. A visit to Burrowes can best be described as disappointing. Hopefully very soon the sea watching will start.
