Someone - I don't know who, found 7 Dotterel yesterday at Grainthorpe Haven.
After distant views last evening I returned again today on the off-chance and they were still present.
For Dotterel, they are quite wary and the best views were had from the car.
They were in a field of beans - the last field on the left at the end of Keyholme Lane.

I spoke to the farmer this evening who said there were still 4 or 5 this morning while he was crop spraying.
All I saw were 3 Wheatear on the fields and ca.100 Brent Geese on the marsh.
