An area on the setaside has now been fenced off, and hopefully the Ringed Plovers will make use of this area.

Additional records from MB this morning, include 2 Canada Geese flying over the old campsite, a Redwing in Longwood, and a Ringed-necked Parakeet in fields adjacent to the Black Horse pub.

A Black-throated Diver offshore late morning on the 19th, with 5 Common Scoter and a Sandwich Tern east.
