Broad Haven Purple Sandpipers

At low tide today there were 15 Purple Sandpipers around the usual rocks at the north end of the beach, the most I have ever seen there. They were unusually mobile, visiting some of the smaller rocks that are only occasionally exposed.  Four Turnstones and an Oystercatcher were with them. Offshore were several divers, but it was too wet for a scope to ID them.
