Another very hot and very quiet day on the peninsular, with little turn over of new birds around the reserve. A single Ruff at the ARC with 2 Common Sandpipers and the resident Avocets and Ringed Plovers. On Burrowes another 2 Common Sandpipers and 2 Little Ringed Plovers, I've no idea what the Common Terns are doing there and not sure they do, another Common Candpiper at Denge Marsh and 100s of Sand Martins signal the July influx on the peninsular. With the birding so quiet the busy moth traps are keeping us occupied.
