Halling (Common) August 30th.

After we had got back from Sandwich,Jeanette and I had a walk out onto Halling Common,1400-1500 by then it was rather cloudy and windy (southwest) and also very quite.However I did see a bird (two in fact) that I had been hoping to find over the last few visits,Whinchat.Both were put up from the low rank vegetation that is flooded by the high tides.One flew onto a post but with the wind blowing proved very hard to approach close enough for a good photo.The Mute Swans that were resting on the mud,now numbered three.
