Shorebirds are no the move. There were still some birds coming to the
place. One Golden Plover came for a couple of minutes and then joined 2
other juveniles just passing by. They did a couple of circles and just
gone. It is more "muddy" on a way however still no problem with access
to good spots.
That was goon time for small guys as well.
