A nice selection of waders were in Brand’s Bay this morning and included 2 Greenshank, 3 Grey Plover, 12 Ringed Plover and 30 Sanderling amongst the usual throng. 2 Spoonbill were again in Lytchett Bay and a lone bird was on Lytchett Fields before relocating to the Holton Lee scrape. Raptors are still featuring strongly and there are at least 6 Hen Harrier in and around the harbour as well as 4 Marsh Harrier and 2 Merlin in addition to several Peregrine. A Hawfinch was seen again in trees just behind Norden Sewage Works where there were 4 Chiffchaff and a Firecrest was nearby along Holme Lane.
