My personal maxima of Green Sands has been just two so far this Autumn, but Phil had four I think by hiking up to Coly Common hide so their numbers are getting to where we expect now. By contrast, we've had loads of Common Sands around for ages...

Just a handful of Whimbrel but a massive number of Curlew, I counted 107 from Tower Hide alone on Sunday evening. New in are Snipe and a couple more Greenshank...

We've also had a fall of warblers,
Sylvia and
Phylloscopus species mainly but I was suspicious that the Sedge Warblers around Stafford marsh were also migrants as we've not had many about lately. These ones were living up to their name for a change, liking the sedges by the insect walks.
