Wintering Green Sand?

6th November - a Green Sand was seen on the spit today and has been reported sporadically over the past few weeks.  It might well be wintering in the area, as 2 did last year and might even be one of these birds.  It seems to spend most of its time in the STW area, but comes over to the spit occasionally.

BHG black R34A was seen again this morning having not been seen since 2 records in late July and early August.  This is a Pas-de-Calais bird.  White 507 also made its 4th or 5th appearance - this is the bird from Copenhagen.

6 Common Snipe were in close proximity on the near spit, but I made no attempt to count the other wildfowl.
