Another failed attempt is what happened to the
Turnstones on Thursday. They're getting difficult to catch at the best of times now but when two blokes turn up at the Marine Lakes and start to play with a radio controlled seaplane you don't stand a chance! As soon as they took the plane off from the water everything flushed; Turnstones (all 200 of them),
Goldeneyes,
Red-breasted Mergansers and
Gulls. Not a bird in sight, nor on the site!
Turnstones
Two consolation prizes came in the form of a distant
Woodcock diving into the dunes and an equidistant, though splendid, male
Long-tailed Duck offshore!
It might be dry in the morning for a couple of hours so if it is I'll make sure I'm out somewhere!
