Back again! No matter how many times I swear I will never return to this site I always seem to be persuaded back by something and the kind offer of a lift to try for the Pacific Golden Plover was enough to tempt me out. It was a rather typical Breydon experience - frustrating - as the plover hid itself brilliantly in the long grass on the main spit viewable from the hide. Eventually good enough views were had to firmly piece together the identification of the bird as the adult summer-plumaged PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER and a superbly marked individual at that. After well over an hour waiting the plover finally stood-up in full view, reaffirming all the salient features, but rather than posing for us it quickly flew high into the estuary and we couldn't relocate it. Other bits and pieces included 2 Mediterranean Gulls, 10 Whimbrels and 8 Golden Plovers.
