I'm writing this Blog Post almost a year after the event, which has the benefit that when it ends up appearing on the Blog that it will not be too long before it will be time for the 2023 Autumnal Waders to appear in Brands Bay. At the end of August, there can be small parties of migrant Waders which hang around in Brands Bay. If they are not disturbed, they can sometimes be found feeding on Redhorn Quay, which is the sandy spit which forms the edge of the inner bay. On the high tide, they will sometimes provide some good photographic opportunities.
Despite the relative scarcity of the Curlew Sandpiper, the star of the show was the Sanderling flock.
I'm looking to the 2023 Autumnal Waders.
