Little Marlow Again

A visit about 9am to see if any new migrants had dropped in.  The sand spit pretty much only held the regular species but there was a Ringed Plover again.  Apparently it had not been present earlier in the morning (per Adam Bassett), so is considered to be a new arrival.  Good numbers had been seen in the county in the past few days including a flock of over 40 at Gallows Bridge BBOWT Reserve.

A Grey Heron is under those feathers somewhere. 
Also rather insignificant at the bottom is the Ringed Plover.

About a dozen sitting Common Terns on the rafts.  All appears peaceful here.......

However it was not long before a fight broke out.  Sharp beaks!!
