Avocet still present at the bottom of Longwood at 17:15, also 2 Shelduck and 2 Buzzards in the area.




I have been keeping an eye on the flooded field at the bottom of Longwood for the last couple of weeks, hoping it might provide something interesting, usually best viewed on a high tide and minimal disturbance. After watching the sea at Climping beach with nothing happening, shocked to find an Avocet & Little Ringed Plover around the pool this morning, combined totals below.
