Cool, dry and sunny, NW 3 - A change in the weather and much cooler than of late caused by an airflow streaming down off the Arctic. However, the sparkling light was perfect for photography from Hanson hide late morning where a juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper was on show along with a Ringed Plover, a Common Sandpiper, 10 Cattle Egrets, a Great White Egret, five Garganeys and a Glossy Ibis. The White-winged Tern remained on Burrowes (but still managed to eluded my camera!) along with nine Black Terns and hundreds of Sand Martins and Lapwings. There has been a noticeable increase in Sparrowhawk and Kestrel sightings these past few days as migrants move through the peninsula; yesterday, I counted 13 of the latter species across the Desert between Lade, Kerton Road and the water tower.
