Disturbance

Thursday 23rd July I walked down to Kessingland North Beach, the shore pool on first sight looked as if it had several interesting waders but a family walked around the perimeter and spooked the lot, 3 fine summer plumaged Dunlin and a Ringed Plover returned but the others didn't! I didn't try and photograph them as I thought they would be easily disturbed. On the beach it was lovely to see groups of 40, 20 Little Terns gathering, especially with quite a few immature birds (about 20) but every few minutes they were flushed by runners running past. Dark cloud quickly enveloped the sky and I gave up.
