On June 13th I had thirteen Common Sandpipers off Mudbank but I broke that record today with a flock of fifteen! What's going on? Also off Mudbank today - 39 Whimbrel, c230 Mallard, 2 Great Crested Grebes, 1 Mediterranean Gull, 20+ Sandwich Terns, 1 Curlew and 2 Common Gulls.
An early morning look at Orcombe produced 1 Lesser Whitethroat (presumably Saturday's bird), 1 Sedge Warbler, 1 Willow Warbler, 9+ Whitethroats and 2 Blackcaps. Also - 2 Red-legged Partridges, 3+ Cirl Buntings and 2 juvenile Stonechats.
Eleven of the 15 Common Sandpipers off Mudbank.
