had a wander down to see if i could find any grasshopper warblers - no such luck
anyway - watching a reed warbler when i turn to catch a smallish wader (bigger than Little ringed plover size imho).
It flew low across the water with fluttering wing beats maybe 3-4 then a pause then more fluttering, pause and repeat - flew in a slow zigzag fashion (this was not an escape from a predator flight - more a moving on). appeared to be grey/light brown with a bill (medium size). Oh and a white bar across the rear of the wings.
I am not great with waders - much much more practice needed - so their is no Jizz from me....i suspect this may....common sandpiper????
any thoughts
was interested by the flight pattern more than anything
