Wood Sandpipers

 RSPB - hot, dry and sunny, light airs - A guided walk for six RSPB guests around the circular trail this morning delivered all the usual suspects including several Marsh Harriers and Great White Egrets, a Common Sandpiper, two pulses of Sand Martins through and a trickle of Yellow Wagtails overhead. We had good views of Lesser and Common Whitethroats, Willow and Reed Warblers by Hookers in the still, humid weather conditions, but the highlight was a flock of five Wood Sandpipers on hayfield 1 that showed well for 20 minutes before flying off to the south.
