Stanpit Marshes

This evening my Dad and I shot down to Stanpit Marshes for the Wilson Phalarope at 5.00pm. Despite the pager saying that it was showing well this wasn't the case, the scope views were indeed excellent but for photography it was far too distant even for digiscoping.
While watching the Phalarope fly off to a nearby channel due to the rapidly rising tide we scanned through the waders to see what we could find, they included:
70+ Dunlins
5 Curlew Sands (all juvs)
2 Bar-tailed godwits and a Knot amongst the more commoner species. We then returned home at 7.00pm.
