ANORAKS AT THE READY

For those of you at the thursday evening talk at SBBO last night,who remembers the tanker going through the Panama Canal,not many of you I expect,well it just so happens that the very same tanker passed through the English Channel just a few days ago and here it is

STENA FR 81 off Dover 28.8.11
Sorry about the digression,but it was too good a coincidence to pass up.
Today it was Backsand again,where there was nothing out of t`ordinary so leaving Steve Ray to the coffee mug I proceeded to Restharrow.Here there were 3 ruff 4 dunlin and single greenshank green sandpiper wood sandpiper,little ringed plover and last and definitely least was  a little stint which makes the dunlin look huge..

GREENSHANK

RUFF

LITTLE STINT

LITTLE STINT smaller even than LITTLE RINGED PLOVER

LITTLE STINT, L.R.PLOVER AND DUNLINx4
A  good variety of waders in a small area,seen by a good variety of birders whilst I was there too.
