Newton Pool & Low Newton, 15th July 2009

I had a quick visit to Newton late afternoon...... down to the hide to see how the wader situation was developing........ It wasn't !!

Zero waders and no change on the dabbling duck front either.... A distant water rail was grubbing about on the mud on the far side of the pool, but that was about it....

On leaving the hide I decided to check the beach at Low Newton for waders......It held....

3 whimbrel
1 dunlin
and a handful of curlew and redshank

It also held a flock of terns and gulls that included 2 roseate terns.....

Mmmmmm.......... Rosy !
