Yesterday I only managed a walk around the car park field, where I saw nothing, then briefly at Bittern Hide, 3, then 4 Little Egret, was an increase on the 2 present for some time now, 1 was very aggressive to the others, hogging the scrape to itself.
An 06:30 start at LFGP produced 3 Teal, 2 LRP, 2 Green Sandpiper, 102 Lapwing and just 3 Swift over, no sign of any Oystercatcher, but I did not go to Sandford, Lavell's or BSL.
I am hoping for Ringed Plover any day now and my visits to the car park field are of course for an early Redstart, or Yellow Wagtail over.
The year list total of 123 looks behind, but not so much when you compare recent year totals up to end July
127 in 2013
136 in 2012
125 in 2011
123 in 2010
119 in 2009
128 in 2008
121 in 2007
127 in 2006
119 in 2005
126 in 2004
133 in 2003
The stand out years are 2012, which ended on 142 and 2003, which ended on 133, failing to add anything after July.
