evening all
A day of gale force southerly winds that swept across the reserve swishing through the sea of grass. Still a fair selection of waders on Aveley Pools but Dungeness still has our White-tailed Plover! It is good to share though! Today we had : 4 Common Tern, 28 Little Egrets, 5 Little Ringed Plovers, 3 Green Sandpipers, Common Sandpiper, 2 Redshanks, 2 Greenshanks, 20 Black-tailed Godwits, 2 Whimbrel. A few Sand Martins and nine Swifts over.
Tony Coombs took some stunning pictures yesterday. All can be seen at www.elbf.co.uk but I have included a couple here as a taster!
