Cattle Egret & small Calidrid

The Cattle Egret still at the Gann this lunchtime, above the footbridge with a large flock of bathing and preening gulls, along with 10 Grey Heron and 7 Little Egret.  A good selection of waders with 2 Ruff, 7 Bar-tailed Godwits, 1 Black-tailed Godwit, 6 Ringed Plover, 3 Greenshank and, amongst a handful of Dunlin, a small Calidrid (most likely a Little Stint, but you never know...) seen only in flight and they headed east out into the bay in the direction of Angle.
