Visited Acre Nook Sand quarry this afternoon on my dinner hour, hoping that some spring migrants on passage would be seen, as it has been very quiet of late. As soon as I got out of the car, a Green woodpecker could be heard calling, and 2 Buzzards were over the Mosses.
Getting the scope out, I soon connected with my first Little ringed plover of the year which followed by another two.
Three Little Ringed Plovers were on the sandbank
A Green sandpiper was flushed by the side of the quarry as I was walking around, and a Sparrowhawk flew low into Colt hovel wood. The quarry still holds 18 Shelduck,24 Cormorant,14 Shoveler,9 Teal and 2 Wigeon.
