Toil for working on the Tesco Roadshow at Culverhouse Cross on Sunday meant I was free for the day, so after getting the front room light fixture fixed, it only took a year, I took myself off down to Goldcliff. It was a planned trip anyway, but the report of a Pectoral Sandpiper meant it had to be done. It was on the lagoon opposite the first hide after some looking, amongst red and greenshanks, and the long staying spoonbill.
Terrible shots, terrible heat haze and long distance -
Pec vs Shank
Small Tortoiseshell
Young Pied Wagger
After Goldcliff I took a stroll down Saltmarsh Lane and found a group of fledgling Long Tailed Tits, a Reed Bunting, a female Blackcap eating berries, and on leaving hundreds of Sand Martins on the telegraph wires near the houses, which was an amazing sight.
