An hour and a bit before high tide was too late for much mud here; two hours would have been better. However, a couple of lapwings hung around long enough to be rather unseasonable for the site, then repeated scanning found a sandpiper whizzing from one shore to the other. Views were distant and brief, and it looked like green sandpiper but they are dead unusual here, so common was more likely and I suppose I mixed up my pale markings.
