Conditions looked promising for some passage action so I was out on the flashes early. An hour at Neumann's was disappointing, so on to Ashton's which was initially just as quiet. I entertained myself by watching newly hatched lapwings and their protective parents, then heard a loud plaintive whistle - grey plover! A good bird thesedays, eith the last one at least 5 years ago. It appeared to head into the central pool so I headed round to look for it there. No sign, but then a drake garganey appeared on the pool. Great stuff. BT Dave then messaged to say the plover was back too, so I watched it with him, Malc and Rose until leaving for work.
