Firth Hide!

This juvenile Song Thrush that was foraging around the pots on my small patio early this morning is the first that I have seen in the garden, I look for ward to seeing more.

Most Grey Wagtails I see on the peninsular are usually high flying specks picked up on call, so I was delighted that this young bird dropped onto the mud in front of Firth Hide last evening for a few minutes to bathe before moving on.

 This Curlew also dropped into Burrowes for a few minutes to bathe before moving on last evening.

 This juvenile Mediterranean Gull dropped in for a few minutes to preen yesterday evening

This adult also dropped in for a few minutes to preen

 1 of 6 Dunlin present yesterday evening

 A Green Sandpiper from Firth yesterday evening

There were 3 Little Ringed plovers at Firth yesterday evening

3 of the 5 Black-tailed Godwits that dropped in to feed last evening 

Firth was very productive last evening, joining the above  were  many Common Terns bathing and resting including juveniles, 2 Sandwich Terns, a Garganey was still present and still asleep, 4 Ringed Plovers, a Common Sandpiper, 2 Redshanks, a Cuckoo flew across the lake, a trickle of Sand Martins moving south and 10+ Swifts. The 2 Little Gulls were still present on the ARC also the Ruff still there. The Serin was still singing at littlestone Friday PM.

 This Greenshank dropped into Firth for less than a minute early this morning
