Dunlin at The Midrips
As it was nice virtually windless day I decided to go to The Midrips this morning, as I pulled up at Jury's Gap CT had had the same idea and was getting out of his car. After the usual scramble over the concrete wall and rocks we walked out to the end of the concrete track. On the pools the Black-headed Gulls appear to be having an excellent breeding season for this site as do the Avocets, Ringed Plovers were alarming and running around the shingle, so no doubt they had youngsters around that we were unable to spot. 19 Dunlin presumed returning birds were feeding, 2 Little Ringed Plovers were present and several Mediterranean Gulls were seen as well as several juvenile Wheatears. There several Skylarks singing and a couple of youngsters were seen on the Green Wall.

Swallows repairing or building a new nest in the screen hide this evening
