A pair of inland knot and a dunlin

One of our regular walks this morning gave us two knot, a first inland record for us having only ever seen them at the coast before, along with a single dunlin. Topped off with a visit to the local garden centre with a 50% off closing down sale.....12 bags of compost - that will do nicely for next year. Three birds and a bargain.....so recon that was a very good morning !
