4 June - Having missed an Avocet at Pit 74 earlier in the spring, I was pleased to get a report that 3 birds had arrived at Pit 200 Kent End. I headed there straightaway and had good scope views of the birds busy feeding - interestingly, 3 Avocets were at Farmoor this morning but flew off, so could well be the same birds - presumably, as his species increases as a breeding bird at fairly local sites such as Slimbridge, records in the Water Park will become more regular. With a Sanderling at the same Pit a week earlier, I’ve seen a reasonable selection of waders locally on spring passage this year. Also present, a juvenile LRP, very good to see.
