Druridge Bay was full of life this weekend with a good selection of waders on show.\u00a0\u00a0 At Cresswell Pond and Druridge Pools, these included\u00a0 2-3 Greenshank, up to 12 Dunlin, up to 15 Black-tailed Godwits, (some in their handsome summer plumage), up to 42 Curlew, up to five Knot and a couple of Common Sandpiper, L-R- Plover, Ruff, Snipe and Whimbrel.<\/p>\n

Cresswell Pond was very popular on Saturday evening with seven Little Egrets, five Grey Herons and twelve Mediterranean Gulls enjoying the sunny weather. A juv Cuckoo, was present at Druridge Pools on the Sunday.<\/p>\n

The highlight over the past week, has been up to three Little Stints<\/strong>, which have been spending time on both reserves.\u00a0 Water Rails and Peregrines have also been reported.\u00a0 At this time of year, anything can turn up and I\u2019m hoping a Spotted Redshank, Pectoral Sandpiper or perhaps even something rarer comes to visit.<\/p>\n
