Argh, went the other way - 2 ringed plover and 9 great egrets from Mander and a greenshank from Dudney. Quite a few wigeon and pintail around

It certainly was! They used yield and weatther data from the Rothamsted Broadbalk long-term wheat experiment

🤣

I think i may have seen it on my run yesterday evening. About 5.30pm, shore at south end of dam. Very squat looking bird then flew off towards Gaynes - white wings and dusky body

Makes sense

Saw one of the black-wits yesterday morning plus the pink foot, was trying to find the wood sandpiper but no luck

Here are a couple more pics of the same bird, all taken on my phone through my scope. If I remember right it didn't have tuft like the one in pic. I think the pics bear that out but the quality isn't great

Hi Mark, yep, checked my notebook and 4th May was when I saw it.

Lad's done his background research!

Thanks both, guessed as much, and certainly a striking combination of features!
