\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Yesterday (10th) I checked on the Bradford Kaims flood at Hoppen Kiln (NU159318) in the hope of a Wood Sandpiper. On arriving I scoped the flood and was pleased to pick up two Wood Sandpipers together. Then panned further right and found another and another etc ! \u00a0 In all TEN Wood Sandpipers present, an all time Spring record for the county. Well pleased I continued to view and picked up a Pectoral Sandpiper as well ! It seems unlikely that the one I found here on 19th April would have stayed here unnoticed as last seen to my knowledge on 24th. Hence more likely a new bird as a noted movement in the UK at the moment with three together at two sites. Also present on the flood were two Greenshank , 3 Dunlin & 3 Ringed Plover. Hopefully with more people watching this area now a real rarity may turn up. I fancy a Lesser Yellowlegs myself ! \u00a0 Today (11th) I gather the Pec Sand is still present with three Wood Sandpipers left. TRD <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
