Common Sandpiper Super Flock - Blyth Estuary - 13th September 2023
Yeah, ever since I went birding on patch this morning, everyone has wanted to see my photos of the Common Sandpiper Super Flock. Totalling a whopping twelve (12) Common Sandpipers. No one has ever seen this many Common Sands in one place at one time. Pretty. Big. Deal.
So, here is a photo essay from my morning of patch birding...

As well as the Common Sandpiper Super Flock there was a pretty sweet supporting cast, including; Bar-tailed and Black-tailed Godwits, two Greenshank, building wildfowl numbers, the first patch Merlin (pictured) and a trio of Yellow Wagtails (pictured) which were my first actually on-the-deck as opposed to just flying over:
