I braved the conditions early morning in anticipation. Pleasingly, the expectation was realised with a lovely partially summer-plumaged Sanderling appearing along the western shore. Gareth arrived soon after and we watched it for a little while, also noting a brief Wheatear and a Common Sandpiper. The Sanderling was last seen at around 11am, however as the skies cleared, appears to have departed not too long after.
Sanderlings have in the past been a very scarce bird at Grimsbury, however this is now I think the fourth year in a row they have occurred which is rather impressive!
