Plover v's Phalarope

I went to LFGP around 07:25 hearing House Sparrow along the Loddon near the new houses, I expect this might become common, if the cats don't eat them all..At LFGP I found a Ringed Plover in the SW corner, plus 2 LRP's and 3 Lapwing.



With little else about I was home 08:30 and just having a look thru Twitter, I suddenly saw the post "Red necked Phalarope Theale Main Pit 08:41" just 3 minutes ago. I did get the last one all those years ago in 2001, but with any Phalaropes being so rare inland anywhere, went immediately.

It was some way out and allowed some poor record shots, with the safety power boats coming out around 09:35 and rain setting in I headed home happy.
