A late morning visit to the ARC from Hanson found 1 Little Stint, 14 Dunlin, c100 each of Golden Plover and Lapwing, 1 Snipe, 6 Pintail among the usual wildfowl, 1 Kingfisher, 2 Marsh Harriers, 1 Peregrine, 1 Hobby and 3+ Chiffchaffs round the hide.
A couple of hours lunchtime spent at the obs, chatting and watching a Spitfire and a Hurricane being filmed overhead. Also a couple of Sparrowhawks and a juvenile female Peregrine over. These exertions were followed by another couple of hours on the reserve in Firth Hide in the company of DW and GH waiting for the Pectoral Sandpiper to come close enough to photograph which it finally did when there was just the 3 of us left.
Great shots Martin
