Plenty of pics to come but little time to sort them out so here's a very brief summary. A morning visit to BHM yielded 3 Greenshanks, 2 Whimbrel, 1 Cattle Egret, 1 Snipe and 1 Cattle Egret. A look from Tower Hide yielded great views of a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull on the estuary.
Another visit to BHM in the evening yielded 3 Greenshanks (plus a 4th on the estuary) and 3 Green Sands some of which were showing very well at times. There were also 50+ Dunlin and 4 Med Gulls (1 adult and 2 juvenile --> 1st Winter on BHM and another juvenile --> 1st Winter on the estuary).
I'm surprised to have not seen a few more wader species recently; Ruff, Wood Sand and Little Stint must all be imminent and hopefully something a bit rarer too...
