Below is a list of long overdue waders at this site.
Golden Plover last record 28/08/91
Grey Plover last record 02/06/92
Bar-tailed Godwit last record 01/07/84
Temminck's Stint last record 06/08/82
Turnstone last record 30/08/06
Curlew Sandpiper last record 06/09/10
Wood Sandpiper last record 22/09/95
Spotted Redshank last record 16/08/10
Sanderling last record 14/07/92
White-rumped Sandpiper last record 03/11/89
We definitely need more coverage at this site.
On the positive side two Waders were found this year that haven't been present for many years.
Little Stint ..............First record since 1995
Whimbrel ..............First record since 1992
Personally I don't think it's birds not turning up , I think it's a lack of coverage by birders. A lot of people these days wait for news instead of going out and finding there own. Look at the Golden Plover record above , you can't tell me that there as been no record since 1991 . They breed less than four miles away . More coverage more birds simple.
