Yesterdays report of a summer plumaged Curlew Sandpiper had me scurrying to the North Wall area this morning. Alas, it was way out in the middle of the harbour and even with a 'scope view it was difficult to see! So another quiet morning with just a 'fly by' Common Sandpiper, Whimbrel and an Avocet on Breech Pool to brighten things up.

Immature Avocet far side of the pool. |
...and a couple of Common Terns.
There were, however the usual Grey Herons!
...in various poses

...and in flight!
A couple of Swallows were twittering on the power lines in Church Lane and incidentally there was at least one pair feeding young in the stables...so hopefully they will soon fledge.
