7 ‘summer’ Golden Plover and 40 Wheatear on No 3 tank was a bit of a surprise along with 2 Whinchat perching on the convenient dung piles in the short grazed grass. Nearby on No 6 tank 53 Common Shelduck and 10 Pied Wagtail had with them 4 White Wagtail.
The ploughed field behind the model aircraft flying field along Lordship Lane had an additional 14 Wheatear with some chunky ‘Greenland’ forms present and a single Yellow Wagtail. 130 Common Shelduck and 4 Whimbrel were notable.
