Warm, dry and sunny, W3 - It was back to the Scotney sand pit this morning for an extended Ted walk where good numbers of passage waders continue to come and go, mainly due to regular visits from a Hobby and Kestrel. The highlights were, for the third day, a Pectoral Sandpiper (flew off at midday calling) and a Temminck`s Stint (last seen about 1100hrs), plus five juv Little Stints, 15 Green, three Wood and five Common Sandpipers, two Dunlins, three Ringed Plovers, three Redshanks and singles of Little Ringed Plover, Ruff, Snipe and Greenshank. Also present, five Little Egrets, a juvenile Mediterranean Gull, 50 Black-headed Gulls, 30 Linnets, and several Pied and Yellow Wagtails and pulses of Sand Martins and Swallows.
