Sanderling & Jack Snipe

Two Jack Snipe and at least ten Snipe were at Fishbourne sdaltmarsh today in perfect conditions for them; work here in the future will let more water in behind the seawall so hopefully they will do well here going foward. A pair of Goldeneye were out on the water, the male head bobbing & throwing, and there were c.10 Rock Pipits inc. a probable Scandinavian-type bird.

Earlier at the Bill, a Sanderling strolled along the tide line but it was generally quiet again with just afew divers of note.
