Curlew Sands

I arrived in the British Steel Hide just after 9:30am when the centre opens and the visitors are let in. Another birder was already there and had found two Curlew Sandpipers.

Ruff numbers have increased to three, and the Spotted Redshank was still among 130 Redshank. Other counts included 726 Black-tailed Godwit, 87 Knot and 47 Greenshank.

On Monday, an adult Mediterranean Gull was feeding on flying ants over the reserve, and on Tuesday, the two Garganey were still present on the NRA scrapes and a Clouded Yellow butterfly flew through.
