Whimbrel

Lade - 0700hrs - cool, dry and sunny, sw3 - Reduced numbers in the trap last night due to the chilly wind, but still had 23 species with White-point, Silver Y and L-album on the migrant front, also Swallow-tailed, Dark Tussock, Buff-tip and a very pale Tawny Shears.
Very little of note on the pits apart from hundreds of eclipse wildfowl.
