A new DUNLIN

Wilstone had the two adult Whooper Swans by the hide. There was also a LITTLE RINGED PLOVER on the bank in front of the hide – along with two DUNLIN that showed sign of being different races, but difficult to be precise as viewing conditions were difficult. Common Sandpiper was by the Cemetery Corner. Two Little Egrets were also about first thing, but then seemed to fly off. Two Marsh Tits were my first this year and goes to show how even resident birds can elude you at times (Roy Hargreaves)
