Shoreline and Marsh Reprise

Looked around the nearby park lake. Dullards absent here replaced by silent Muscovy Ducks. 1 Little Egret, many Collared Doves.

Shoreline: 1 Little Egret, 2 each Kentish Plover, Sanderling. 3 YLG 1 Cory’s Shearwater.
Lagoon: Whimbrel now at 6 birds. BW Stilt at 5. Usual suspects but failed on the Greenshank. 1 Hoopoe overhead.

Still no Hirundines Larks Pipits Wagtails Chats. I got a brief warbler song probably Sardine.

I encountered another birder in an even worse state
than me. He told me he had always been a big happy beer 🍺 drinker in Norfolk then he moved out here for marital reasons. Within two weeks the grim barren landscape had driven him into an unbearable state of total sobriety 🥴.
