Boulmer birding day 3 - Sunday evening

Headed out again late afternoon to see if I could refind the earlier sandpiper. Overall less small waders on the receding tide with only 2 Purple Sandpiper now present.
Only about 50 Turnstone, with single Dunlin, and a handful of Knot, Sanderling and Ringed Plover. New this afternoon were a flock of 300+ Golden Plover with 30+ Curlew.
On the sea Grey Herons kept flying in disturbing the birds with one bird perching close by. A couple of Little Grebe were a surprise on the sea.

Finally, a mixed flock of Twite, Linnet and Goldfinch fed in a set-a-side area. Glorious sunset finished an excellent day's birding.
