Morning at Old Moor where the storm kicked off a bit of wader passage. Full highlights: Little Egret, 2 Wigeon, 3 Green Sands' (adults), 2 Common Sands' 3 Turnstone (Wader Scrape), 4 Redshank (3 juvs). 2 Common Sands' and 2 Green Sands' were at Broomhill Flash at same time (JES) thus a autumn max so far of 5 Green Sands'. This is noticeably low for this time of year when birds are assumed to be failed breeders so hopefully this might indicate they are having a good breeding season?
