I had read that a Little Stint and a Green Sandpiper were both to be seen from the Eric Morecambe hide at RSPB Leighton Moss and, since the weather forecast was good, we decided to go up there and give it a shot. As it happened, we were wrong on both counts as the weather was heavy rain – not unusual for the sea hides at Leighton Moss. We didn’t see either of our target birds but the day was not entirely lost as we got some Curlew Sandpipers which was a good year tick for us.
