I had a nice evening down at beacon Ponds tonight, I thought I'd go for another crack at the tawny pipit.
On the way down from Easington I saw a couple of wheatear and skylarks feeding on newly cut grass.
Further on there were some common waders around the lagoons including grey plover, ringed plover dunlin and oystercatcher.
The tawny pipit showed briefly as soon as I arrived then disappeared for half an hour before re-appearing and showing really well.
It remaoned distant but nice to see it out in the open.
I bumped in to Martin garner and a party of birdwatchers and he put me on to a magnificent summer plumaged curlew sandpiper feeding on Easington lagoon.
Also had little tern and yellow wagtail.
beautiful evening under clear skies, shame about the strong wind.
