July can be quiet for birding!

A stroll from the beach to the North Wall produced very little of interest.
Best was perhaps this Stag Beetle found on the 'dog walk' path...


An elegant beast!



Whites Creek had the usual Redshanks, Gulls and some summer plumaged Black Tailed Godwits and a few rather tatty Lapwings...



The resident family of Canada Geese were  near the sluice gate .

A few Reed Warblers were seen in the reedbed surrounding Breech Pool and a solitary Snipe was seen briefly at the far end and a  pair of Common Terns were present, briefly.

On the return journey a family of Whitethroats were seen suggesting successful breeding but not much else!

So, July is quiet for birds and birder alike!
