Other sightings today include 10 Redshank (this coincides with a major movement in East Lancs today with a flock of 150 at Foulridge reservoir near Burnley), 2 juv Black tailed Godwit, 2 juv Little ringed Plover, 7 Dunlin (ads + juvs), 18+ Ruff, 1 Green Sandpiper and 300+ Lapwing.
A Barn Owl was showing during the morning along with at least 3 Marsh Harrier and a juv Peregrine along with the usual Common Buzzard, Kestrel and Sparrowhawk.
