Lesser Yellowlegs....and Sanderlings





30 May - A detour to Uttoxeter quarry from the M5 gave good views of a superb breeding plumage Lesser Yellowlegs (photos 1-2, copyright Richard Powell), a very elegant bird to see. Also there - a Sanderling (3), a few Ringed and Little Ringed Plovers and a flyover Hobby. Pit 301 in CWP after the rain produced 6 Sanderlings ( several in summer plumage ) and 5 Dunlin, 2 RP and 2 LRPs.
