Little Ringed Plover - 19 this evening. 10 on the ERF lagoon and 9 on the quarry. 5 of them juvs. My route when walking this site takes me past the lagoon, then on to view the quarry and then back past the lagoon. 10 birds on the lagoon both ways so no transfer of birds in that time, therefore I believe an accurate count. I am certain two pairs nested with 2 young each which accounts for 8 of them. There were possibly some more resident, but not 11 more. They seem to be gathering in the evening as during the day there are no where near this number.
Shelduck - 1
Little egret - 3
