| | Went for a look at a nature reserve site near to my house today, when i arrive there was literally hundreds if not thousands of waders, and within the space of 5 minutes they'd nearly all gone  its amazing how quickly they can all disappear.
11-17am
11-21am
Mostly they were Black Tailed Godwits, with Redshank, Teal, 6 Herons dotted around, A couple of Snipe and some Lapwing  No avocet unfortunatly |

Where was this?
2 theories .... (a) a response to the tide rising or falling and the birds moving to an alternative feeding area or (b) the birds spooked by a Peregrine or other raptor .... probably neither and maybe it was the aftershave after all!

They may have been camera shy?  |

Thinking about it, in the reports book there had been a fair few Marsh Harriers spotted so maybe one flew over?!
It was on the east coast of Lincs, on the humber |

The very same thing happened at Dungeness the other week. That was caused by a raptor.Annoying when you've just set up your camera, bins and got your sarnies out! ww

Could have been Blacktoft Sands. That's near Ousefleet on the junction with the river Trent, Ouse and the Humber.

It sure is Alan, you get some pretty good views of waders down there, especially as it's right in an industrial estate lots of Avocet at the right times | | | |
