Stephen Howell had found a juv Little Stint at Dickleburgh Moor the previous evening so I was there in morning to see if I could find it. It didn't take me long and it afforded some nice views on the lagoon by the carpark. It represents my 18th species of wader at the site this autumn!
Also there were an amazing count of 42 Snipe, a brief visit from the Pectoral Sandpiper before it flew off right/south, 3 Spotted Redshank, 4 Ruff, 4 Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Green Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper, Redshank, Yellow Wagtail, Grey Wagtail, Reed Bunting and Reed Warbler.
Amazing haul for an inland site! Just shows what will turn up if you provide some exposed mud!
