Curlew Sandpiper
Curlew Sandpiper & Shelduck
Common Sandpiper
Green Sandpiper
Snipe
Gypo Goose
A few spare days off after the excitement of Madrid gave me chance to do a bit of extra local birding on the patch but also out and about locally. One such trip was over to the Upton Warren Flashes where three Curlew Sandpipers were present one of which spent more time on its own so perhaps they had arrived in two parties. There has been a huge influx of Curlew Sandpipers country wide over the last week and remains a species I've never seen at Salford Priors.
Other sightings included a rare Little Grebe (only normally see them on moors), five Green Sandpipers, six Avocet, two Snipe, three Common Sandpipers, 35 Teal, 7 Shelducks and then 2 Egyptain Geese & two Common Terns on the sailing lake.
