I went to Martin Mere to try to see a Temminck's Stint which had been found yesterday. No sign of the stint, but 14 Knot is an amazing number at an inland site, and possibly a Martin Mere record! Also a rather grotty looking Grey Plover, which itself is not a bad inland record. There were very few birders at Martin Mere today, and only a handful of us saw these birds, which flew off at 11am.
14 Knot and Grey Plover. Note the diagnostic black armpits of the plover and one of the Knot is in it's red summer plumage.
