A few more signs of waders on the move this evening with counts in the relatively small area south of the bridge including 123 Black-tailed Godwits, 306 Dunlin, 6 Whimbrel, 1 Grey Plover, 6 Ringed Plovers and 86 Oystercatchers. The most interesting bird however was one of four Curlew that flew in and landed, which appeared to have a dark rump in contrast to the obvious white rumps of the other three. It was a brief and distant view in dull light, so could just be soiled plumage or some other effect, however, the bird also had a strikingly long bill and was darker all over, so worth looking for if you’re passing.
