Saturday 16th August Wood Sandpiper
The weather this morning cooler and cloudier.
Things were rather quiet on the Meadow: 6 RINGED PLOVER and 7 or so DUNLIN hanging out between the north cove and Burgess creek. 8+ SNIPE dotted around the place. A HOBBY was seen flying over the Walton Well road railway bridge. A single LITTLE EGRET was about. A YELLOW WAGTAIL was seen down by the south tail (WoM).
Things were livened up when a WOOD SANDPIPER flew in (spotted by a fellow birder) and showed well on Burgess channel initially before moving over towards the north cove.
