A foggy start soon gave way to a beautiful sunny morning down on the flats. As soon as we opened the car door a singing Corn Bunting could be heard - a first for me at Alkborough - it was up on the top road between Alkborough and West Halton. The view over the flats always seems most impressive when the sun is out so we stayed to scan over the flats from the hillside before going down on to the flats themselves. Altogether we saw the following; 1 Buzzard, 112 Pink Footed Geese (on Whitton Sands which is a very late record for this species), 2 Whimbrel, 2 Spotted Redshank, 1 Little Egret, 1 Wheatear - on Sunday we had 3 Wheatear, 1 Ruff, 1 Little Gull and 1 Woodsandpiper.
