Green Sandpiper - Aug 16th 09 - Manor Farm5:00 > 5:30pm
Sunny, windy, very windy (SW).
The juvenile Dunlin remains for its seventh day since arriving last Friday however its looks like it might be ready to move. For the last week it has barely moved out of a twenty foot radius and has tended to run from danger which got me thinking perhaps it was carrying an injury. Fear not, this afternoon, even into the strong wind it was taking small flights around the wader pool. I would not put much money on it being there tomorrow.
Also in this area were singles of Common and Green Sandpiper.
Given the winds I took a walk along the ridge as this has been a fall location for the likes of Wheatear in previous years but apart from a couple of Green Woodpeckers which are always in the grasss in this area, no luck.
The 'back pool' south of the farm (see yesterday) buildings held nothing of interest today.
