This grizzly weather was always likely to down a few passing migrants, and it did in the shape of 2 newly arrived Ruff and an adult Curlew Sandpiper on Lytchett Fields, along with 6 Common Sandpiper, 11 Greenshank, 22 Redshank, 1 Dunlin and 1 Green Sandpiper. At Baiter there were 10 Turnstone and in Holes Bay 1 Common Sandpiper, 170+ Black-tailed Godwit and 40 Redshank. Everything else seemed to hunker down for the most part of the day and is likly to do so with wind and rain forecast for the coming days……there is always the option of a sea watch or two though!
