Wood Sandpiper and other birds

Always the possibility that Wood Sandpiper was still about given that they tend to be more elusive than Common and Green. A single bird was seen from the Ron Barker Hide on Vinson's Marsh early afternoon. We'd guess it's the same bird present last week but you never know. Other waders included 2 Common Sandpiper on Sunley's Marsh, 2 juv Little Ringed Plover, 2 Dunlin, 15+ Ruff, Black-tailed Godwit, Snipe, 250+ Lapwing.
