The 18th species of wader at Grimley for 2012 came in the form an unseasonal Curlew Sandpiper this morning.
The recently landscaped north end of the Camp Lane Pits and subsequent flooding have created what is probably the best habitat for breeding and passage waders in the county at the current time.
Grey Plover, 2 Avocets, Ruff, Black-tailed Godwit, Greenshank, 3 Dunlin and 2 Ringed Plover have been the highlights amongst the commoner species so far this year. With the main passage period yet to commence hopefully many more will be recorded.
