Green Sand paradise with a minimum of 9 seen - eventually. The staying ringed bird was not confirmed today, unlike yesterday morning when two Redshank were also present and Sunday when a brace of Snipe were on show. One Black-wit (new bird)offered the gaudiest plumage I can recall and the opportunity to justify anyone a scope upgrade to loose the red chromatic fringing plauging its continued use.
An English tick was Mink bounding after landfill grass chomping Rabbits, taking a break from their waterside munchings, where the foxes have visibly roamed during recent visits. Is that why the Green Plovers, Sandpipers, Shanks and waterfowl seem so jittery, even when we view from the distant roadside ? 1066 is perfect wader habitat and well worth a stop as you pass the area, although you will need to take your (new?) scope... to fully appreciate those Green Sands.
