WeBS totals

Nothing outstanding during this morning's count but a good variety nonetheless. Totals included 415 Oystercatchers, 68 Curlew, 43 Redshanks, 12 Turnstones, 6 Common Sandpipers, 5 Ringed Plovers, 5 Lapwings, 4 Black-tailed Godwits (with a possible flock of 20 high overhead), one Snipe, 32 Cormorants, 3 Sandwich Terns, 46 Little Egrets, 30 Mallards, 6 Teal, 2 Little Grebes and a Coot; the latter at Luxton's Steps pond, my first patch record beyond Decoy Lake. Curiously - or worryingly - no Shelducks or Greenshanks and only one Dunlin could be found.
