Lodmoor Friday 25th May evening

As a rule there’s always one bird of note at Lodmoor and today it was a Greenshank. There’s always a few in Autumn but a spring one with a spangley back is always nice. Otherwise a couple of Ringed Plover, and a party of ten Dunlin looking fabulous in full summer plumage very close in. I didn't notice the enormous worm in the Dunlin's beak until I looked at the photos back home.

The Common Terns are back in force, but I couldn’t get any decent photos – surely there will be a chance later in the year to get some decent photos.
