Roosting Yellow-legs

I bumped into Carl at Mons Pool tonight; he'd beaten me to the site and had had Ruff, 2 Greenshank and 3 Green Sands; both Greenshank and one of the Green Sands reappeared for my, and I didn't bother tracking the Ruff down, instead discussing our respective pelagic experiences of the summer (Carl having been to Scilly). He also drew my attention to an entry in the log bog in the hide, for a Little Stint seen at Mons Pool on 26th August... another scarce wader record from the site that doesn't seem to have been released at the time. After Carl departed I had a look at the gull roost on Ferry Lane Lake; c.50 Lesser Black-backs, 2 juv Herring Gulls and 2 adult Yellow-legs; still no Caspian Gull!
