Fly Flatts revisited

Just 1 Sanderling showing tonight

Ringed Plovers and Sanderling by the famous tyre.

Fly Flatts evening visit, W>6 with occasional sharp shower, sunny. 1700-1815hrs.

Nice to bump into 2 more hardy birders tonight, firstly DJS scanning the Within fields and secondly JW down by the water.
All the activity was again at the SE and S area with several of the Dunlin and Sanderling moved on. As I was watching a flock of 8 Ringed Plover came in from the south taking tonights total to 19. Only one Sanderling remained and stuck with the Ringed Plovers.
