Pectoral Sandpiper
After the sea watch we moved to Dennis's Hide on the reserve, while I was looking at Gulls legs Richard spotted a wader that turned out to be a Pectoral Sandpiper, whether it is the same bird that was present on the 06/10/2021 or a new bird I guess we will never know, it could have been hiding on the islands in front of Makepiece which are now near on impossible to view as the the is shut.
Also from Dennis's the usual Golden Plovers and Lapwings, 5 Dunlin, a Ruff, 6 Grey Plover, an Avocet
and a Black-necked Grebe, also 2 Norwegian colour ringed Great Black-backed Gulls, both rings were read and details logged on the Norwegian web site.
