The star bird of the moment is undoubtedly the Semipalmated Sandpiper and it showed well though at a distance during the 4 hours I was there today through the rain & shine.

Here’s some other stuff that I can remember that has been neglected of late for your interest;

40+ Avocet
40+ Ruff
100++ Shelduck
4 Little Egret
5 Dunlin & 5 Ringed Plover with the afore mentioned SP Sandpiper
3 Greenshank
Several Curlews – Seen / Heard
1 Male Marsh Harrier
1 Grey Heron
Teal, Mallard, Eclipse Male Widgeon
Grey Lags (Lots)
Martins (Lots) didn’t notice any Swallows
10 Swifts through showed for only 5mins or so
Never went down the Whitton end
I may edit this when I find my very rough notes
Missed the Wood Sandpiper
