hi dean-nice meeting you too ,if you send me a private message with your e-mail address ill send you some great gargany pics

Garganey really close to horrocks along with 3 Dunlin, Little Ringed, Common Sandpiper and Redshank.
Met fellow mcr birder John Tymon, nice to have met you John, who took some fine pictures of these birds. Looking forward to seeing them in the gallery soon.
Also pretty sure i heard a Lesser Whitethroat near teal hide but couldn't find it. Still never seen one of these.

Dean.

4 Arctic Terns during the rain around 6 pm (and not viewed from the luxury of Horrock's Hide but from Ramsdales Ruck) and the Garganey was still right in front of Horrock's, infact the only way to get any better views is if it sits inside the hide itself

garganey showing well front of horrocks,3 dunlin still there,at 3.40 pm.

Hi Ian also spotted 1 arctic turn with a kindly gent out of towner who let me look through his very powerfull Kowa scope.It was sitting next to a common at the end of the spit and we made good comparison.I must invest in a better scope.
