More Sandpipers

An evening visit to BHM on the 4th yielded just 6+ Common Sands initially at 19:30. I waited until Sunset to see if anything else would drop in and this proved worthwhile as I heard 2 Green Sands calling overhead before they dropped onto BHM shortly before 21:00. It was a bit dark (and birds were distant) for pics at this point so forgive the ropey images:

Black Hole Marsh looked absolutely stunning on Sunday evening so here's a panorama shot taken on my phone:
