Thanks Guys
Out of interest, whereabouts where these waders?
I know Cleethorpes beach really well as I grew up there & popped back "home" birding a couple of times last year but in terms of waders it was mainly Curlew I saw, largely in the area behind the leisure centre. A couple of Dunlin, the odd Oystercatcher and occasional Little Egret and that was about it in wader terms.
I have seen Sanderling and Turnstone at other coastal spots in the UK but they have tended to be stonier coasts rather than the flat marshes around Cleethorpes.
