Things are picking up once again as Autumn arrives. Patchworking at Ginst on the 28th August was rewarded with a smart female/imm
Marsh Harrier quartering the saltmarsh and a
Black-tailed Godwit.
A break from patch on the 3rd I met up with Dave Astins and Jason Moss for a look around Angle Bay. Conditions were very poor but despite this we tallied up a nice selection of waders at Kilpaison. Including: 2 Bar-tailed Godwits, 10 Knot and 8 Turnstone, 6
Curlew Sandpipers and a
Little Stint, the latter a Pembs tick!

Back to Ginst the following day. Not the numbers of waders seen at Angle but still a nice selection: 6 Knot, 5 Turnstone, c150 Dunlin, c200 Ringed Plover, and the highlight, a smart juvenile Curlew Sandpipier- its that much better when you find one on your own patch!
