A cold, wet, blustery Bank Holiday Monday. Greger wanted exercise and didn't mind where, so we drove down to Dorney Lake, Bucks. The first person we saw was Kevin who gave us the news that Russell had counted sixteen turnstone here!
Fortunately, most were still around. They were flighty, sometimes skimming over the bank from one lake to the other and looking and sounding very beautiful as they did so. I managed to count eleven, possibly thirteen. Also present were loads of ringed plover and half a dozen dunlin.
And Berkshire reported thirteen kittiwake, four sanderlings and a knot. I suppose the strong easterly winds that have been driving me mad have been good for something!
