Our effort for Global Big Day and World Migratory Bird Day results in a rare find but few waders.
Our intention for the eBird Global Big Day and World Migratory Bird Day was to search out waders in our local area. We had hoped that a Curlew Sandpiper and a Wood Sandpiper seen earlier in the week would stay, but it was not to be. We started our day at Little Linford Nature Reserve.
It was relatively quiet and we were disappointed not to hear a cuckoo although we did see some other migrants like warblers, swallows, martins and swifts but saw no waders at all...http://www.waderquest.org/2015/05/our-effort-for-global-big-day-and-world.html
