Averavia interpres
20 June Barrow - two seen foraging together
on high clitter polygon ground just
west of Central Marsh in the morning.
1-22 June Barrow - 2 to 3 pairs seen daily
around T9-18 and T1e2.
23 June - B. work and I watched a fox eat an
egg from a turnstone nest. The nest was an unlined depression on a
polygon in a wettil area but with
elevated sides. "Barrow" type ground -
napped soil with much crestone
lichen - patches of moss and a thin
scattering of sedges. Against this
background the harlequin pattern
of the sitting turnstone makes
the bird very difficult to see indeed.
Apparently, the nest contained but one egg.
July
One seen at Coal Mine, My Code River
One was seen flying and heard calling over
the nillage around 1700. It was blocked
down stalan.
