Marshside RSPB

16th May 2011 marshside i spent all afternoon moving between junction pool and
Sangrounder's, with a brief visit to Nel's.
150 Dunlin were on junction pool, along with a Little Stint. 10 Ringed Plover
and a Curlew Sandpiper. A Whimbrel and Little Gull dropped in later in the afternoon.
