Good numbers of Goldies

Despite Mons Pool looking pretty good at the moment, there were no waders there apart from several Lapwing, which has been the case recently and continues to be a source of disappointment.

Mons Pool
It was the same on the Main Pit and Ferry Lane Farm Pit - no waders at all other than Lapwing. However, one Curlew was lurking amongst the several hundred Lapwing on the Silt Lagoon. The only other birds of note were single Wigeon and Pintail on Main Pit, and 4 Wigeon on the Silt Lagoon.

However, just as I had a final check of the Ferry Lane Farm Pit, I noted three flocks of Golden Plovers to the north - two flocks of 80 which appeared to come down to the west of the Trent, and a larger flock of 130 which circled round over Mons Pool, and then headed west as well. It would be nice if these were accessible next visit so I can have a look through them...
