Post subject:  Wood Sandpiper at Kirkby on Bain Gravel Pits on 6/5/14

A very rewarding evening. The highlight of the evening was a very elegant Wood Sandpiper which when temporarily disturbed by a Buzzard showed that the feet do project well beyond the tail in flight. Something that the books note when making comparisons with Green Sandpiper but I have rarely been fortunate enough to see!

Other sightings that may be of interest during my visit include

Little Egret 1
Common Tern 8
L R Plover 1
Redshank 1
Garden Warbler 1
Buzzard 1
