After an abortive attempt on Sunday to see the Baird’s Sandpiper at Boulmer, success today with superb views on tideline 200 metres N of village along top of dunes 1.5km N of village. Main high tide roost is right on point but bird seems to like area just S of there. Smashing bird so clean & neat compared to the messy Dunlin. May stay a while as happy in it’s Dunlin flock & plenty of feeding potential. Tomorrow’s high tide will be close to dusk though. Other birds in high tide roost included 4 Grey Plover, 35 Bar-tailed Godwit, 3 Knot & 120 Dunlin.
