Part of a flock of c300 Golden Plover roosting in Lydd Fields
A late morning walk around Lydd fields found a flock of c300 Golden Plover which seemed to ignore a pair of hunting Marsh Harriers and Common Buzzards, plenty of Skylarks, Reed Buntings, Meadow Pipits and a single Corn Bunting. The Black Swan revealed itself to be a young bird due to the dark tipped wing
feathers. Once again there was no sign of any of the Russian White-fronted Geese.
