Gary and I just arrived after a very heavy shower and the sun was breaking though lighting up the puddles and rain drops, this place was stunning.
The small waders breed mainly in the tundra zone from Scandinavia eastwards to eastern Siberia with much of their European breeding located in Russia. Their wintering areas are from the Mediterranean basin and northern Afrotropics across the Middle East and east across southern Asia to Japan.
Sedge Warbler: The Temminck's was pretty faithful to the low lying island on a large muddy pool called The Great White Pool and was habitually creeping along the muddy Bankside feeding away.
Common Sandpiper: We were also hoping for a barn owl or two, knowing that Lunt is a premier location for owls but they weren't out during our short visit.
