Autumn is With Us

Just a quick update as I finally got to Tower Hide last night after the football. There was only one Common Sandpiper on BHM but 9 more on the estuary took us into double figures for the first time this 'Autumn' (so far as I know). Amongst them was a lone Dunlin and a single Greenshank was lurking amongst 25 Redshanks. Plenty of Blackwits and several Curlew now so return passage is really getting going. I heard a Whimbrel call but didn't see it. More to come over the next couple of months no doubt...
