Well the day after my post in which I ask 'where are all our Little Ringed Plovers?' of course I see a Little Ringed Plover!
Yesterday (Monday) was a really good migrant day. I think the south easterly wind and clearer/sunnier conditions encouraged everything to get moving, with many south coast sites reported a bit more variety amongst a fairly good arrival of migrant birds.
I was in work all day sadly, but a rapid look around during the evening showed the aforementioned Little Ringed Plover, a male distantly on the scrape at Bridge Marsh.

I also saw three Wheatear, two Willow Warbler and for the first time this year a three-figure count of Sand Martins (only been 20-30 before). So, not loads for me, but still a welcome uptick in variety and numbers.
