I've been in Latvia at Kolka for the past 10 days so again catching up on local birds.
A good passage of waders through Middleton with a high counts of16 Ringed Plover on 25th May which left then 19 on 29th May. Also Sanderling on 27th May then 7 on 29th.A Black-tailed Godwit was seen at Middleton on 22nd May.
I had 14 Dunlin drop in for an hour at Middleton on 30th Maywith a single Ringed Plover.
On the moors there has been regularly sightings of Hobby and the expected Nightjar and Woodcock.
This morning was a real surprise though, with a pair of Avocet on the lagoon. They slept for the first hour after I first saw them so I presume they were recent arrivals. After a sleep they were feeding and seemed fairly settled.
