Notts - A Classic Year (1 Viewer)

[Andy Hall]

Of course the star of the show is the Broad-billed Sandpiper but a remarkable supporting cast and it's only early June:

Red-necked Phalarope (first for 19 years)
Purple Heron (first for 8 years)
2 Spoonbills
Multiple Temminck's Stints
drake Lesser Scaup
Green-winged Teal
several Cranes
Dotterel
Great Grey Shrike
Snow Bunting

Is the real biggie still to come???

It might have gone or is just extremely elusive

yeah, i was down the day after it was reported on RBA for the besthorpe open day, and heard people were struggling for it. Couldn't get down the other day either, oh well!
