A good selection of birds today despite the howling wind across the marsh. The Lapwings were spooky all day and Dave Morrison managed to find the Pectoral Sandpiper amongst the flocks as they wheeled around and even got off a shot of it in which you can just make out the breast band, long wings, chunky bill and slightly projecting feet.

Two Grey Plover were with over 100 Goldens and about 80 Black-tailed Godwits came in at high tide while any little birds around the centre got a battering today!
