A Two Phalarope day is always a good day!

On Saturday 10th April, I drove over to Southwold and walking to the flooded area flash in the north-east section of the Town Marsh, I soon saw the fine Grey Phalarope at 9.45am, busy feeding along the north edge of the flash, it was busy feeding all the time, meanwhile in the long grass along the eastern edge a fine male White Wagtail was seen and it fed from the edge of the flash. Also 4 Tundra race Ringed Plovers seen too. Next stop Minsmere, where I had to sign in and give contact details (just in case they had an outbreak of Coronavirus they could contact me to isolate or get tested. No sign ogf any Stonies on the North field, so walking/ hobbling along to the ridge by the beach, just left of the East Scrape hide (no access due to Covid) just abbove the reeds, my second Grey Phalarope of the day was also seen busy feeding around a Canada Goose. Whilst at the back a fine immature Little Gull seen flying around the scrape immediately in front of the West hide (Wildlife lookout). 2 Black- tailed Godwit seen on South Scrape plus up to 8 Sandwich Terns seen on several sand spits. Plus 2 very pale white Bar- headed Geese perched on another ridge spied again just above some reeds.
