| Meadow Pipit |
A breezy day, great for windsurfing but not so good for encouraging either of the two Black Redstarts out from amongst the chalets despite two passes, one before and one after lunch. A juvenile harrier made the usual run across the top of the meadow, via the frying pan and on along the river, so, as usual out of camera range. Even in sheltered spots little passerine activity with just a couple of Chiffs and no sign/sound of the possible YBW.
On the beach the roosting Turnstones and Ringed Plovers were disturbed by a tog but later, on the hightide, the former were stretched out along the very close strand line adjacent to the chalets and far less bothered by people when feeding.
The west side 'manicuring' has been done to great effect with clear views all the way through to north scrape which produced a single Greenshank, although it feels as if the three days of disturbance has had a knock-on effect on the number of birds
