Curlew quartet

I met Carl C at Collingham Pits this evening, where there were 2 Dunlin, a juv Ringed Plover and a Common Sand on the Main Pit, plus a Pintail. There wasn't much on the Silt Lagoon, so we headed for Mons Pool, where there were 4 Little Egrets and 5 Wigeon, as well as what appeared to be 2 alba Wagtails. Whilst looking at these, 4 Curlew dropped into the Silt Lagoon behind us briefly, before moving across to Mons Pool; these looked like an adult and 3 juvs. After I left, Carl had 3 Green Sands on the eastern part of the site.

Checking the log book in the hide at Mons Pool, it was apparent that there were a few more waders around yesterday (which is to be expected on a day that I couldn't visit) - nothing too outrageous, but including a Blackwit on the Main Pit and 5 Green Sands on Mons Pool.
