More record counts and a Crane!

Yet another record count of Avocets on the Humber up at Read’s Island yesterday - a staggering amount of 1458!  This morning’s waders included 23 Curlew Sandpipers, 5 Little Stint, 88 Bar-Tailed Godwits, 82 Knot, 2 Whimbrel and 2 Spotted Redshank.

The River Ancholme is covered in green algae at the moment and is finding its way out on to the Humber making  interesting green stripes as it goes.  All the following images were taken with my Father’s new Panasonic FZ100 - its 24x zoom certainly came in handy for the distant Common Crane down on Bonby Carrs this afternoon.
