First iNaturalist record.
With Graham Armstrong, Pete Ellis, Steve Guy, Guy Langan, Paul Harvey, Phil Heath, Ian Lewis.
Seen for more than an hour after dawn, in a small loose group of Eur. Curlews, feeding in a short-grass field on the south side of the main lake. This was "limpy" - the bird that had been shot about 3 weeks earlier, but seemed to make a recovery.
This location is the last known wintering site for this species. The last record from here was in February 1995.
Here is a link to the last video taken at this site, in January 1995:

Is the flatworm preying on another insect here, or possibly just sliming over the top of it?

Not much plankton but it was nice to see one of these. I also saw a small Lampea Ctenophore.
