GAYHURST PIT looking good

Six species of Wader on site tonight:

Lapwing,about 20,
Common Sandpiper, 5,
Dunlin, juvenile that has been around about a week,
Common Snipe, first of the autumn
Common Redshank, juvenile, first here this autumn
Ringed Plover, juvenile, first here for three years.

( no Oystercatchers or Green Sandpipers seen )

Also 3 Little Egret.

Last time Gayhurst was this good was the year Foxcote was fantastic three years ago. Any news from there ? (Robert Norris)
