43 Ringos & 4 Dunlin were attempting to roost on the beach - that is until the dog walkers got to work on them ! A Waxwing went south overhead at 0830hrs. Glorious sunny morning so gave starring out to sea (& into the sun) a miss. The highlight of a walk round the reserve was 3 Meds & a Skylark. Normally by this late in the year the only Skylarks we get are associated with cold weather so i presume this one has been flooded out from somewhere rather than frozen out ?
