                                    Golden Plover left,   Snipe right

                                   Juv Meadow Pipit

With the weather remaining near the same as this morning with low cloud and light drizzle thought it was worth another check on the wader situation at Leeshaw.
Found it much the same with birds showing well on the NW banking as this morning which makes it a bit more workable than them being on the east banking thought they are still quite a distance away.
2 Common Sandpipers were on the shoreline otherwise the birds were the same but different numbers.
Got to have some interesting waders at this site shortly.
Good to meet nephew Nigel Priestley,  Dannysbirds, tonight who had to leave as I arrived and missed out on the waders.
