The Slavonian Grebe, Little Stint and Spotted Redshank all still remain faithful to the Otter Estuary NR, but today's surprise was a Purple Sandpiper feeding on the southern edge of Big Marsh with a small group of Ringed Plover. Although I have recorded Purple Sandpiper before in Budleigh, I have only ever seen them on the rocks off Otter Head and they are always very scarce, so to see one feeding on the mudflats was quite exciting.
