Little Barwit & Stint

          The flow of birds continues! Brendan Shiels had a Little Stint on BHM on Friday which I checked out in the evening. An adult bird as opposed to the juveniles we usually seem to get more of. Scanning the Blackwit flock for the 3 missing Ruff I stumbled upon a Barwit, a very diminutive looking individual dwarfed by the Blackwits beside it! And so the wader list continues to rise. Several of Thursday's birds still present; 3 Curlew Sands & a Knot.
          At Coly Common a lone Whimbrel again among the Curlew. Also Yellow Wagtail distantly, on Bridge Marsh with the cattle.
