Whatever it ate it didn’t sit well……………..

There was a small flock of Wood Sandpiper in the padis yesterday……………

They’ve just started irrigating the padis and Wood Sandpiper are a regular sight in mid May.

The farmers have started irrigating the padis outside town and there were a few waders around this morning. Most numerous were Wood Sandpiper: this is the commonest wader in this habitat.

Also around were 3 Red-necked Stint, 1 Great Egret and a flock of 50 or so White-fronted Geese.
