As the NE wind continued to blow across the peninsula today it was difficult to get myself motivated. A couple of visits to Dennis's Hide saw a handful of Sanderling, Dunlin and Ringed Plover with Greenshank calling unseen, not s single Tern over Burrowes or the ARC. A few more Sanderling were on the ARC islands, also plenty of Swifts, Swallows and House Martins hawking there. There were 23 Redshank and 4 Greenshank on the hay fields per RW.
