Following the sighting of this 1st for Britain at Sandy Haven back on 13th May, and it's presence in North Wales from 5th to 20th June, today it reappeared at Sandy Haven! After speaking to a local resident it transpires she saw it yesterday, let's hope it stays for a while so that everyone can enjoy this special visitor to our County.
The bird can range anywhere from Sandy Haven beach up to the top end at Rickeston, subject to tide and disturbance. There are VERY limited places to park along the west side of the pill, the best place to view from is the creek at Aenon Baptist Chapel where perhaps half a dozen cars can be parked safely on the wide side of the bend at the chapel wall. The largest car park is on the east side at Sandy Haven Beach, accessed from Herbrandston, but across the high tide period you cannot access the pill itself much beyond the stepping stones opposite the caravan park (the crossing was cut off today over 3 hours before high tide).
Please do park considerately and good luck! For anyone trying on Saturday please note there is a large cycling event passing through the area, details here.
