Mon 1st Sept 25

The water level on the scrape is very low, perfect for small waders and this means there are lots of muddy margins hidden from view, This mornings stint sp took advantage of this and showed for just a few seconds on several occasions before finally giving away his identity late morning as a Temminck's Stint.

From the hide: 1 Mute Swan, 3 Grey Lags, 15 Teal, 2 Shoveler, 8 Cormorant, 1 Lt. Egret, 1 Grey Heron, 55 Lapwing, 16 Avocet, 6 Curlew Sands, 4 Blk T Godwits, 3 Snipe, 3 Common Sands, 2 Wood Sands, 2 Curlew, 2 Dunlin, 1 Green Sand, 1 Temminck's Stint, 1 Ringed Plover, 1 Ruff, 1 Coot, 2 Buzzard, 1 Marsh Harrier, 1 Sparrowhawk, 1 Kestrel, 6+ Yellow Wags, Pied Wags, 1 Green Woodpecker.
