Three little ringed plover were on the spit at Pennington Flash this morning and were my first this year, though a whopping 18 days later than my earliest ever. Also this morning 150 sand martins over the flash but I couldn't find any other hirundines with them.
I didn't have long to wait though, at lunchtime I was working near Newburgh, Parbold, when I came across a flock of 50 sand martins which also contained one swallow (my second earliest ever) and one house martin (my joint earliest ever and only my third ever in March).
