The same old 7.00am begin noticed us on the East Financial institution by 8.00am: immediately we discovered a gaggle of calidrids that included Ruff, Dunlin and 5 juvenile Curlew Sandpipers. A wooden Sandpiper was feeding on the very again of the Serpentine, whereas a number of Black-tailed Godwits and a Snipe have been lurking ib the margins. Additional alongside the East Financial institution we got here throughout a Curlew and several other Redshank, all near the trail.
After a short seawatch we back-tracked to Bishop’s, which was virtually completely devoid of birds! Espresso and scones, then a transfer to Stiffkey and a brisk stroll out to the ‘whirligig’. Roughly the one birds of be aware have been a number of Little Egrets and a solitary Spoonbill: hardly any passerines in any respect.
