Pool in wet grassland close to seawall: 1 juv L R Plover 1 juv Ringed Plover 2 Little Stint 4 Dunlin All together and giving excellent comparative views In ditch in wet grassland: 1 Garganey (pale spot on lores, pale stripe above eye and less distinct mark below eye. longer beak than teal - c200 of which were on the reserve.
