Despite rapidly drying conditions there is still a nice patch of water and mud in the middle of Dickleburgh Moor at present. Yesterday it finally attracted some nice passage waders and with the light being good it made for some good viewing from the central path. 5 Wood Sandpipers was a site maximum for me and along with them were 3 Green Sandpipers, 2 Common Sandpipers, 6 Ruff and the usual handful of Lapwings. A couple of Yellow Wagtails, 2 Stock Doves, c25 Little Egrets and a Reed Warbler were the best of the rest.
On the slow mooch back to the car I found the midge gall Wachtliella persicariae on Amphibious Bistort, Red Goosefoot and False Fox Sedge.
