Also today - 50+ Redshank, 2 Greenshank, 2 Ringed Plover, 6 Bar-tailed Godwit, 2 Grey Plover, 2 Black-tailed Godwit, 2 Kingfisher, small numbers of Dunlin and good numbers of Turnstone, Pintail, Wigeon and Dark-bellied Brent Geese.

Great Northern Diver - Mudbank

Two Kingfishers showed exceptionally well between the leisure centre and Mudbank today. At one point both birds flew inches above the pavement and inches from me as I stood with the scope.
