Today's sightings
Zeiss Hide/Top New Piece
Plenty of waders came in from the estuary over high tide, these included 90 Red Knot, 100+ Black-tailed Godwit, 50 Dunlin, 7 Ruff, 2 Spotted Redshank, 20 Redshank, 8 Greenshank, 10 Ringed Plover, 3 Little Stint and an apparent Semipalmated Sandpiper. The strong sunlight and heat haze was a problem here today, albeit a nice one! The tide is high at about 095ohrs tomorrow, this will be a good time to look for this bird again. A Kingfisher was present under the hide today as was Cetti's Warbler.
