A juvenile Little Stint was busy feeding on the mud on a falling tide on east bank of the river around 1pm, almost opposite the two waterside houses. Initially it was with two Dunlin and a few more arrived later. These, along with eight Greenshank, some Redshank and a few Curlews and gulls were put up by a Sparrowhawk cruising south along the hedge before landing on an ash tree opposite me.
After things calmed down, the numbers of waders increased to over 30 of both Dunlin and Redshank, but I could not see the Little Stint. Five Little Egret, three Teal and singles of Kingfisher, Grey Wagtail and singing Chiffchaff put in an appearance.
