Baird's Sandpiper 1 juv.
Curlew Sandpiper 5
Mediterranean Gull 1 adult
Dunlin 100
Ringed Plover 50
Little Egret 5
The Baird's Sandpiper was, perhaps surprisingly, only my second ever and my first for 25 years. It showed very well on the saltmash at Traeth Dulas (near Moelfre), and there was a strong supporting cast, with five Curlew Sandpipers and a Med Gull. This was just a quick visit to Anglesey, we only left home at 1pm, and we were back in St Helens by 7pm.
Curlew Sanpiper and Baird's Sandpiper bring my year list to 215.

The bird on the right is probably the Baird's Sandpiper!
