Pectoral Sandpiper at WWT.......

27 July - A Pec Sand at Slimbridge found last night by @Robertabirder. and still present today - good but distant views from Zeiss hide. Also Greenshank, Redshank, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, a colourful summer-plumaged Black-tailed Godwit flock, Little Stint and Dunlin, with Green Sandpipers from Robbie Garnett hide and on the Rushy. Wader numbers should increase as the autumn passage gets under way and the juvenile birds start to move. Few passerines seen in very windy conditions.
