75 Not 'Owt!

Spent an hour and a quarter at N-b-t-S Golf Club this pm.  The course itself looks in immaculate condition.

Was reassured by Dusted Off Bins and his record shots that the bird was there, but despite my 75 minute stint, nothing concrete.

Back tomorrow................................

Minimalism

Great when it describes art, naff when it relates to birding!

The sea today?  Flat in every sense off Snab.

Cresswell was better - 3 Ruff, 3 Common Sandpiper, 1 Green Sandpiper, 1 Knot, 11 Dunlin and plenty of 'stuff'.

Druridge - 1 Snipe, 1 Dunlin and 1 Common Sandpiper.

Cambois Beach - gulls and terns but nothing out of the ordinary and no Roseates.

Castle Island - 1 Common Sandpiper.

Bothal Pond - 1 Greenshank.

West Hartford - 3 Greenshank.

Arcot - nil waders.

Two Ticks

West Hartford tonight - one Black-tailed Godwit and one Greenshank.  Two additions to the patch list.

Doesn't quite make up for missing the Wilson's but nice nonetheless.
