The highlight of today was the autumns first Wood Sandpiper at Holton Lee where there were also 3 Green Sandpiper, 1 Common Sandpiper and 1 Lapwing with several Willow Warbler in the surrounding scrub. At Lytchett Fields 16 Green Sandpiper were across the fields with 5 Common Sandpiper, 136 Redshank, 9 Greenshank, 6 Dunlin, 1 Snipe and several returning Teal.

Ergh! What a day, although we needed today really badly as the forecast is for today’s torrid weather to breeze on by and for the hot weather to continue. The only rewards for a wet soggy watch at Lytchett Fields was an adult Little Stint.
