Nice one Chris.

Just wondering if you checked the furthest section of flooded grassland to the right of the road as you head down towards the sea bank? At 7.45 this morning there was a Temminck's there along with two wood sands. Walking back around towards the scrapes a chap told me he'd just seen two or three Temminck's from 360, so just wondering if there are three or four.

Hi John
The chap that told you about the stints was me. Three birds to the back of the island making it difficult to categorically say there were three rather than two - but suspect it was three
We did check the far right hand corner - (Brian?) the guy with the bike and the chap that manned the centre in the afternoon (Trevor?). There were just four wood sands, two bar tailed godwit and one redshank in the corner.
Many more waders were behind East Hide but nothing that I could see that was out of the ordinary
I was somewhat surprised to see some of the birds on the board (hobby, knot, turnstone, common sand, turtle dove etc) that I had missed but still that is birding

Hi Chris,

Sorry I didn't recognise you! Hopefully I will next time. Sounds like there were four birds in total then as I'd just walked around and left one on Marsh Farm.

The chap on the bike was probably Alan Lea, although we get a few cycle birders now which is good to see.

Cheers,

John
