Thanks Trisha. Had an hour at the reservoir after finishing at the VC (1700-1800) and the Whinchat, Turtle Dove (1), Wood Sandpiper and Corn Bunting were all still present. Lovely. Reported at VC today:- Turtle Dove x 3 (Hedgerow - best viewed from reservoir) Temminck's Stint x 3 (best viewed from sea-bank near East Hide) Spoonbill x 1 (Wet Grassland - Present all day) Little Gull x 2 (Middle Scrape) Short-eared Owl x 1 (Adj. Farmland - South) Common Sandpiper x 1 Turnstone x 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker x 1 |

Daniel is correct -the stints were best seen from the sea-bank not far from the steps close to the East Hide. We had spent over an hour in East Hide vainly looking for these. It was a different story once we were above the birds, channels in the mud and vegetation. A case for the RSPB building a hide somewhere here I wonder? C100 ringed plover and 30+ dunlin wer in the area Also a black brant was under the steps at the end of the road about 11:00 |

Other highlight Chris Grimshaw and I found was the Wood Sandpiper on the reservoir, no luck with Turtle Doves, Corn Bunting or Winchat that were reported. Andrew |
