Dan here.
A wader-focused scout around today yielded an attractive adult curlew sandpiper on the estuary mud at Gull Bank.
It was in the company of five black-tailed godwits as the tide dropped, part of a reasonable variety of waders including 15 ringed plovers, 20 dunlins, 32 bar-tailed godwits and 650 lapwings.
On the smaller water bodies of the parish a juvenile little-ringed plover, a greenshank, 2 snipe and four green sandpipers were to be found.
Less mud-oriented species included a juv. sedge warbler, and a southbound party of 17 swifts.
DH.
