Curlew Sand and Knot

A nice morning on the patch today with a lovely juvenile Curlew Sandpiper and a Sanderling in amongst a group of Ringed Plover and Dunlin, and 2 Knot on one of the islands at high tide. It is still a novelty getting waders like Knot, Sanderling and Curlew Sandpiper here, as none are very common at the site. It is amazing to think the ever increasing salt marsh was simply grass fields less than 2 years ago! Other highlights today were a Hobby over Little Marsh and yesterday, a Whinchat around The Island.
