Up early for a drive to a favorite reserve of ours ( Frampton ) When we arrive the car park is fairly full, so we get parked & walk the main track where we are soon watching a Jack Snipe only yards in front of us and its a better sighting than the one we saw a couple of days ago, also on this first pool there are Avocet, Dunlin, Ruff & Black-tailed Godwit which I needed for a year tick. A Dotterel had been seen over on the pool by the barn.
We walked up the steps to the sea wall & after a mile walk we turn right & find the Dotterel and get a nice view from Cross Bank just a single bird but it was walking about showing well although at a distance.
So mission accomplished for the trip now to get on enjoying walking this lovely place to see what else is about.
Ticks soon arrive when 2 Yellow wagtails & then Golden Plover show on the same pool. Although not needed for a tick a single Whimbrel landed and the third Wood Sandpiper of the week is seen.
A walk back for another look at the Jack Snipe & over a hundred Dunlin land & a few nice coloured Ruff show well. Jimmy spots a Spoonbill for Brian that he needed for a tick.
Over 30 Ring Plover show but we couldn't find the Spotted Redshank despite walking nearly the whole way around the reserve, but it was a nice walk on a nice day.
