Sitting on the Fence!

First thing this morning I went to the concrete road, AJG had been there a while seeing very little, we spent another half hour there seeing a handful of Arctic Skuas tooing and froing, a few Terns, the star bird was a Tufted Duck flying down channel which is quite unusual here.

 AJG went round the trapping area and Long pits while went to The Patch. On the perimeter fence behind the hide a Redstart, 2 Common Whitethroats, 3 Chiffchaffs and 2 Willow Warblers. The Patch held plenty of the usual Gulls and c50 Common Terns but nothing unusual.

 Another Redstart was at the lighthouse area, with 6 Common Whitethroats, 5 Willow Warblers, 3 Chiffchaffs, 4 Wheatears and c100 Yellow Wagtails.

At the North end of the Long Pits many Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, Common Whitethroats and 6 Spotted Flycatchers.
The south end of the ARC 2 Spotted Redshanks, a Curlew Sandpiper, 2 Black-tailed Godwits and a Redshank.
From the Screen 3 Garganey, a Water Rail, 30+ Golden plover and 4 Common Snipe of note.
Around the car park 4 more Spotted Flycatchers and more warblers and a Kingfisher through.
