Couple of hours first thing this morning spent at Pennington / Keyhaven. Nothing unexpected today, but good numbers of Waders: over 200 Dunlin, 50+ Black-tailed Godwit, 7 Greenshank, 1 Whimbrel and a Common Sandpiper. Other highlights were Mediterranean Gull, Sandwich Tern and Eider, plus a couple of Swifts. 50+ species in a couple of hours illustrating how good this area is, even on a quiet day in July. #Birds, #Keyhaven

Turnstones are pretty common and very tame all around the Hurst / Keyhaven area.
