Missed my old mate Steve Seal due to work commitments y'day at Draycote (But glad to see that he had a good day & some of the birds stayed for him) On arrival at Draycote this morning i decided to head straight for Hensborough bank,i'd just got past the sailing club when i saw what i thought was a new lighthouse on the bank (My mistake it were a Brandon regular in a Daz white t.shirt on the bank, all the latest gear all with camo but in a dayglo outfit!! You gotta laugh..)Anyway after puttin on the shades & puttin the earplugs in i got myself into position & had a cpl of hrs in the mixed weather with the 1 Juv Curlew Sandpiper still present alongside 4 Dunlin & 4 Ringed Plover.. Other birds seen on site Yellow Wagtail in double figures 1(Juv) Little Ringed Plover on the outflow + the usual common stuff
