20+ ringed plover on Cleethorpes Beach (opposite Kingsway Hotel) at 1.15pm today.

With them were slightly smaller numbers of sanderling and turnstone.

By 2.45 pm (about an hour before high tide), they had been joined, slightly further out on the tideline, by 200+ bartails, 250+ knot and a few curlew.

A search for warblers, chats, flycatchers and other migrants in the nearby foreshore nature reserve proved unproductive - just magpies, carrion crows, starlings, goldfinches and a few blue/ great/ longtailed tits
