Another look for waders

On Ferry Lane Farm Pit at Collingham this evening, still one Turnstone present but there was no sign of the other 5 from yesterday. Also present, 3 Greenshank, 2 Ringed Plover, 2 Dunlin (with a third that circled the pit calling, but didn't appear to land), 6 LRPs (5 juvs), 6+ Common Sands, 4+ Green Sands, 6 Little Egrets, an adult Yellow-legged Gull, and at least 4 juv Yellow Wags (and plenty of young Pieds as has been the case all week).

Elsewhere on site, there was a Common Sand on the Main Pit, where 5 Snipe flew over heading south (I'm not sure if these came up from the site or just flew straight through), and there were 2 juv LRPs on the Silt Lagoon. Mons Pool was pretty quite, although a nice adult Hobby performed overhead briefly.
