July finish

A last minute Coal Tit 27th, a Dunlin on the 28th at LFGP (BTB), then Mandarin 29th and 30th, took the total to 89, making it the =2nd highest July.

The month did not include Barn or Little Owl, Grey Wagtail, Lesser Whitethroat, or Nuthatch. Certainly the last 2 must be around, Grey Wagtail probably shows up in odd places, but we appear to have lost them at BSL sailing club beach, which is both odd and a shame.

I await a Ringed Plover mid month with a bit of luck and will be keeping my eyes peeled for Whimbrel, Curlew, or maybe an even more exciting wader, not forgetting Yellow Wagtail and Spotted Flycatcher later this month.

I was out pretty early today, 3 Green Sandpiper, 1 Common, 1 LRP, 4 Swift, 2 Kingfisher was about it.

P.S.
Brian told me that he had Nuthatch in July, so we hit 90 the new 2nd highest July.
