Just back from a day at Blacktoft Sands. Loads of waders on show. It was a delight to see a hundred or more snipe, 1 greenshank, 2 green sand, little stint, dunlin, tree sparrows, pintail, spotted redshank, curlew sandpipers, marsh harrier sparrowhawk etc... And a lovely day to be out too. Very warm. I 'spect our next trip will be when we go to Mull in a week or so.

Sandra,yes it is great to see the waders when the tide is calm as it is at the moment.I enjoy the evening tide when the sun is setting,and the birds are all congregating at the waters edge,and one can hear the different calls echoing into the still of the night.Magic.
