Pennington to Farlington - 18th Sept

I'm just about start another week off work and though i wont be able to get out every day i do hope to cover the Langstone Hbr area as much as possible with a few trips further afield and maybe out of county if necessary. Fingers crossed for some good birds and with any luck it will be me that finds them!!


Today i spent the morning and early afternoon a Pennington Marshes in the hope of connecting with the the Bairds Sandpiper again ideally on the Shoveler pools which has to be the only place with a chance of it being close enough for good photos. No sign all day despite plenty of people looking though it was reported early AM and late PM, to put it diplomatically those reports surprised me!! Hmmm.... anyway Grey Phal on the Normandy Lagoon was nice and there were Curlew Sands, Little Stints, Spotshanks and a fly over Osprey to keep things ticking over.

I dropped in on Farlington Lake and the stream on the way back where two Ruff and a Whinchat were the best of little else of note there.
