Flock of 16 on Ridley Lane, Croston, 940am. Showing well in field NE of bridge over River Lostock with 20 LBB Gull and 1 Curlew.
Also a single Whimbrel seen in flight and heard calling over Wymott reedbed.
1 1W Mediterranean Gull was the highlight amongst 5 gull species including Common at Eyes Lane.
Whimbrel takes me to 118 species.
Whimbrel 17/4

Re: Whimbrel 17/4
You did well to find the whimbrel John. I stopped off on the way back from Eyes Lane at lunchtime and they were still there at 1.15 on the far side of a field also full of LBB gulls. Plenty of gulls still on Eyes Lane plus 34 godwit and 2 redshank.
