The Garganey pair were showing well at 17:45 - both out of the water on the right-hand end of the spit.
Also a Ringed Plover bossing the LRP's about, 1 Redshank, 2 or 3 Dunlin and at least 1 Common Sand. and hundreds of Hirundines with 20+ Swifts but I only had my bins with me as I was on the way back from a meeting at Warrington.

No, course not Ian. I was already on my way to see the pair of Garganey
