Early May always produces a good selection of waders and yesterday, 2nd May, was no exception at Frampton. There has been an influx of Black-winged Stilts into Britain these past few weeks, and no doubt some will be settling down to breed. A pair were at Frampton but were just a little distant, nevertheless showed well. Three Wood Sandpiper, a summer plumaged Spotted Redshank, small numbers of Ruff, including a few smartly dressed males, Little Ringed Plover, Black-tailed Godwit, Avocet, Lapwing, Curlew and Redshank were all supporting casts.
Several Spoonbill on the main lagoons and a selection of migrant warblers, helped to produce around 50 species during the morning.
