More Dunlin

Another wander over the Point today, was less productive than yesterday but again I managed to get in amongst the small Dunlin flock. The above photo shows 2 birds moulting towards SP. At the moment I'm practising my photography and so I am just concentrating on that but these Dunlin make great subjects.
This Ringed Plover was part of a small group present today, Today's totals are as follow's: Dunlin 39, Ringed Plover 17, Turnstone 12, Grey Plover 12, Oystercatcher 30+ Whimbrel 3, Common Tern 40+, Sandwich Tern 1, Brent Goose a noticeable increase to 60+ birds, Great Crested Grebe 7, 9 House Martins in off the sea and most interesting of the day an adult Kittiwake that passed by mid afternoon.
