First to Goldcliff where we saw among the usual waders a Little Stint, Ruff, Pectoral Sandpiper and the Great White Egret. At first we could just see the top half of the GWE from the new platform (a fantastic addition) so decided to go to 3rd hide to get a picture. We had just about reached the sea wall when up and away it went, no picture. Called in at 1st hide on way back and saw the Pectoral Sandpiper among a flock of Lapwing.
We then went to main reserve where I was hoping to see the Stonechat but nothing showed for us.
Colin, we were at both Goldcliff and main reserve today. Very windy in both places, just Coot, Mallard and Swan on pools at main reserve with not one other bird seen except the highlight of any day a Marsh Harrier struggling against the wind over the reedbeds by the Lighthouse. The highlights at Goldcliff were 1 spotted Redshank, a few Snipe and a Curlew plus loads of Lapwing and Shoveler.
