Another migrant COMMON GREENSHANK

Tyttenhanger Main Pit

The COMMON GREENSHANK appeared on the mud after we (myself, Joan Thompson and Steve Blake) had moved around the lake and after a few minutes flew off to the east calling. We were not sure if the bird had been hidden there for some time or had flown in unobserved and not stopped for more that a few minutes. More large gulls there than is usual but no Yellow-legged (Alan Gardiner)

Wilstone Reservoir, Tring

Meanwhile, no new arrivals by early afternoon, just 2-3 COMMON GREENSHANK and 2 GREEN SANDPIPERS on the mud (Steve Rodwell)
