Little Ringed Plover posing for the camera this time!

Improved numbers on Black Hole Marsh this evening with birds continuing to drop in until 21:00 ish. Counts from Island Hide were as follows:

1 Wood Sandpiper
2 Green Sandpiper
10 ish Common Sandpiper
4 Ringed Plover (1 juv, 3 ad)
5 Little Ringed Plover (4 juv, 1 ad)
54 Dunlin

A good day - the marsh is perfect to attract waders at the moment with low water levels, a pungent odour and lots of flies!

Here's a couple pics of Little Ringed Plover:
