Another good day for waders, at Blacktoft Sands: purple sandpiper, curlew sandpiper, redshank, spotted redshank, greenshank, dunlin, ruff, snipe, lapwing, and another little stint (just possible to differentiate, in a tight group of dunlin, because of its diminutive size and hyperactive feeding habits). The waders were regularly scattered by the arrival of raptors: kestrel, buzzard, marsh harrier and sparrowhawk. When I first started to become interested in birds, almost 70 years ago, I never imagined I would one day see little egrets, cattle egrets and a great egret all together. But here they were, along with a heron.
