Saltholme highlights from this afternoon. The obvious highlight was two temminck's stints near Saltholme Hide, which were sitll present at closing time but sometimes elusive. About 30 other species were seen from Saltholme Hide, including little ringed plover, some early avocet chicks and two very late pintail. Elsewhere, a drake goosander wqas on Paddy's pool, with a presumed escapee red-breasted goose hanging out with 5 barnacle geese on the wet grassland. A single drake garganey was on the flash pool to the south of the meadow, and two sets of great crested grebe chicks were visible from the Haverton viewpoint.
