I took today off to go to the Birdfair, but managed an hour out before we set off; predictably, I began at Ferry Lane Farm Pit at Collingham. The Turnstone was still present, and the number of Greenshank had increased to four (although three of these flew south and may have left the site, but could've landed in the southern boundary ditch). Also present were 2 Ringed Plovers, a Dunlin, one juv LRP (have the others left now?), at least 6 Common Sands, c.3 Green Sands, and 4 Little Egrets. On Main Pit there was a Common Sand, and a female Pochard was new in, and nearby at Mons Pool there were 3 Common Sands but not much else.
Birdfair was fun, and inevitably I left with my bank account a little less full than it was at the start of the day. It was also nice to catch up with a few people, and get a fly-over Osprey!
