<\/a><\/p>\nCommon Sandpiper – Efford Lagoon<\/p>\n
Chaffinch – Efford Lagoon<\/p>\n \u00a0I then wandered out past Shoveler Pools and to the sea beside the jetty, it was evident that many of the breeding<\/p>\n Whitethroat , Reed Warbler and Sedge Warbler were now on territory. Two Spoonbill, now a familiar site here, were on Jetty Lagoon and a single male Common Scoter was offshore.<\/p>\n Linnet – Butts Lagoon<\/p>\n Black-tailed Godwit – Fishtail Lagoon<\/p>\n \u00a0I spent a little time at Fishtail Lagoon, Keyhaven Lagoon and Keyhaven Quay and it was evident that there were good numbers of Dunlin around with approximately 350 birds present. Scanning through the flock at Keyhaven Quay I found a near summer plumage Curlew Sandpiper which I spent some time watching but it was too distant for photographs.<\/p>\n At Fishtail there was a fine summer plumage Spotted Redshank, again a little too distant for decent shots, and five Swift appeared low over the lagoon. There were approximately 12 Whimbrel around the area, some feeding in the salt marsh while others were flying overhead giving their distinct bubbling often heard at the marshes in the spring.<\/p>\n A single Common Sandpiper plus two Greenshank were also on Fishtail Lagoon. On the salt marsh there were still 15 Dark-bellied Brent and amongst them two Pale-bellied Brent.<\/p>\n A fishing Common Tern was joined by two Little Tern on Fishtail, my first of the year.<\/p>\n Turnstone – Fishtail<\/p>\n Spotted Redshank, summer plumage bird – Fishtail Lagoon<\/p>\n Shelduck and nesting Lapwing – Keyhaven Lagoon<\/p>\n Shelduck – Keyhaven Lagoon<\/p>\n Common Tern – Keyhaven Lagoon<\/p>\n
