After a tip off yesterday evening about a couple of Temminck's Stint and a small flock of 6 Wood Sands at Bonby Carrs,i decided to go down and have a look this morning after dropping Trace at work.When i arrived it was blowing a gale and peeing down,but it soon brightened up and i walked down to look to see if any of the waders were showing.After a little while and with some able assistance from RH and WG we managed to see 4 Wood Sandpiper feeding around the water's edge,although a little distant,but still cracking birds all the same!.Also on the rapidly drying pools were a couple of cracking Little Egret,a single Dunlin and Greenshank and a very nice 'Greenland type' male Wheatear.Also present was a very unseasonal neck collared Pink-footed Goose,which surely should be on it's way to Iceland by now,perhaps the cold easterly weather last week has held it back?.A nice couple of hours on the local area.
Welcome to my blog!..This will be used as a diary of my many days out chasing rare birds,local birding and my experiences in the fantastic natural world of the UK,with a scattering of photos thrown in as well.
