I had my first trip for a week round Collingham and Mons Pool. The latter site held 2 Common Sands and a Green Sand, plus a Little Egret (as well as 5 Small Coppers and a Common Blue), but Carlton Ferry Farm Pit at Collingham held better; a Greenshank, 3 Common Sands, at least 5 Green Sands, and a Dunlin, the majority of which were in the north-east corner of the pit.
Whilst I was away, a Wood Sand was found at Mons Pool on monday morning, and a few other waders were recorded in the area (but nothing matching the aforementioned species). Perhaps of greater note, Carl had a Pied Fly along the southern boundary of Besthorpe NWT North on thursday evening - a good bird for Notts and a species I have yet to catch up with in the county. Remarkably, Carl also found a Redstart as well!
