WRS still present at sunset this afternoon, visible but mid-distant from the 360 Hide.
No luck with Snow Buntings.

Hi, Toby found another White-rumped Sandpiper at Frampton today. This one was an adult. The previous bird (seen on 1st and 4th Nov) was a juvenile. According to Toby he thinks the juv was the same bird as at Gib and Blacktoft in Oct/Nov. Cheers, John |

The adult White-rumped Sandpiper was still showing quite well at times from the 360 degree hide this afternoon and occasionally with a Dunlin for comparison. 16 Snow Bunting were also around. Geoff |

Just to add to Simon and Katharine's posts, there was a disinctly "winter is a-coming" feel on the reserve today. Both a Greater Scaup and a Goldeneye were amongst the swathes of Teal and Wigeon on the scrapes, a couple of sorties of Whooper Swans (9 + 4) flew over the reserve during the afternoon and Golden Plover numbers seemed to swelling with each passing hour. A Peregrine terrorised the scrapes a couple of times as well. |
