East Haven - few birds about

   
Just a few from East Haven where I went after finding no Little Gulls at Monikie. There had been five last week and I expected more would have arrived. I thought I might find a Wheatear in the coastal field at Hatton, it was disappointing with few birds and a large number of sheep which had cropped all of the grass. The beach didn't have many birds at all, just a few Pied Wagtails, Rock Pipits and gulls.

This Rock Pipit shows the features of a Scandinavian sub species littoralis, although it was with a UK bird (rubbish photo in the wind)






Still a few Curlews around, perhaps new ones making their way north






One of around 24 Sanderlings showing a wee bit of moult into breeding plumage






Buff-tailed Bumblebee Queen in my garden, also seen a Red-tailed Queen doing a fly past
