After a fairly quiet walk around the flash this morning I called in again at
Green Lane this afternoon just in time for a dramatic deluge of rain which
lasted about 30 minutes. There were just immense numbers of sand martins all
over the flash with the best estimate 2200 birds, a really impressive sight.
With them I managed to pick out a single house martin, my first of the year
and two swallows.
After the rain cleared I scoped the spit and managed to pick out a singles of
dunlin and redshank as well as two little ringed plovers, whilst a little
egret was at the western end.
