Little Ringed Plover, Houghton Green Flash

A quick visit to Houghton Green Flash just before the thunderstorm produced my first little ringed plover of the year. Wigeon numbers are down to six birds, but they had been joined by a pair of gadwall, an adult little grebe and a pair of tuftted ducks. If water levels would remain as they are at least it would offer some hope of seeing some decent birds over the spring.
