Dear All
Lovely walk/birdwatch near Pett Levels in East Sussex..
The wardens have flooded an area north of the Royal Military Canal/Pannel Sewer and this has attracted many waders/gulls/ducks and tens of sand martins...
Managed to get an hour there this afternoon - I did read on the Sussex Ornithological Website reports of Green and Wood Sandpiper - also Greenshank, Ruff and Black Tailed Godwit...
Now Black Tailed Godwit I did see and Greenshank and Ruff but the Sandpipers are causing me consternation...!
I have attached a montage of a unknown sandpiper (there were at least 3 of them) of the freshwater edge of the aforementioned flooded area...
I would be delighted to receive comment... - I think wood sandpiper -but I'm not sure.........
Cheers Tom
