Wood Sandpipers at Martin Mere : 8th August 2014
Having been a bit preoccupied of late we were keen to take the opportunity of a nice day to follow reports of a pair of Wood Sandpipers seen from the Ron Barker Hide at Martin Mere WWT. We got there pretty quickly and after a cup of tea we headed straight up to the Ron Barker hide where we met a chap who had been looking at a pair of birds but wasn’t sure if they were the Wood Sandpipers or not. The two birds concerned kept drifting off behind some reeds and would not give us constant views making a positive ID difficult.
