July drags on ..............................
14th spent some time at cresswell pond just in the hide 60-70 Dunlin, 2 Little Ringed Plover this with the yellow ring and No 5 on which has been mentioned by others not sure if there is any info on it yet , Whimbrel over and settled on the spit, also a Common Sandpiper .
15th 2 Emperor 1 Male and this Female laying only shots I could get as they both disappeared.
17th Little Egret heading for the west end at Hollywell, 2 Dragonflies in front of the hide at first I thought both Four Spot Chasers but this female ovipositing by dipping in the water I think is a Black Tailed Skimmer. Adult Med Gull at the east end , preening on the shore .
This just fledging Herring Gull was in the street when I got home 2 pairs nesting nearby

i'm no expert, but i agree with B T Skimmer. Lack of spots on wings and to many spots on thin body.
ST, Oddly seen lots of Male BTS but not females, this one laying as it dipped in the water, but mainly in the same spot.
