Went down to check the waders again on the receding tide. Good numbers of Turnstone (100+) and Sanderling (50+) with 7 Purple Sandpiper, 20+ Dunlin, 50+ Redshank and a single Grey Plover (new for the trip). On the sea were 11 Common Scoter in amongst the Eider.
Checked the bushes for LBJ's but just the usual Stonechat, although 5 Fieldfare flew over.
Interestingly a Water Pipit was reported today - third winter in a row for the area. The photos show it to be very similar to 'scandanavian' Rock Pipit but the finder was confident it had all the Water Pipit features. Very likely this was the paler Pipit I saw yesterday with Rock Pipit.
