Newport pm

Late afternoon, tennis courts to salt marsh - Sam's Curlew Sandpiper was still hanging out with the group of Redshanks and a single Dunlin had also joined the group. With a Greenshank and a Little Egret on the opposite river bank.
Towards the salt marsh there was a resting group of small waders consisting of 12 Ringed Plover, 1 Little Stint and 2 Dunlin, plus 13 Wigeon waddling down to the river.
