Lunchtime visit to the Quarry today (18th) started nicely as a Yellow Wagtail flew over the Main Pool and landed out of sight near No. 1 Pool. On relocating this scarce quarry bird I found five White Wag's in the same area. The White Wag's were a little more confiding than the Yellow Wag, which eventually took off to the north over Boilton Wood.

This afternoon's birding was enjoyable, despite the cold westerly wind. The lone Whimbrel continues to "skulk" around the islands on the Main Pool, Common Sand's are up to 7 birds now and single Swift still around. Local birder Zac made the first count of the Whimbrel roost last night with 9 birds present.
