There are, apparently, some curlew sandpipers and a little stint at Bowness railings at the moment....it was a beautiful late afternoon, so we went down to take a look....
Yes, the light was fantastic and there were lots of waders as it was just off high tide - but no little stint and to be honest I doubt we would have spotted the slightly curved bill that differentiates a curlew sandpiper from a dunlin especially as they were mainly preening or asleep! So I just took photos ...and enjoyed the birds for the sight of the spectacle it was.
