Norland Moor 22/12/07

Sue and I watched the first large flock of Redwings and Fieldfares of the winter in a field alongside Norland Moor, around 100+. We also had a large flock of Lapwings, around 150+ with a few Golden plover mixed in. We also heard but could not clearly see a flock of waders of some description nearby, these took off and landed over a wall in the field so we were unable to check them out, definite wader types calls but I did not recognise them in the brief glimpse we got of them. It didn't help that we only had the small compact bins with us and it was very gloomy this morning on Norland. I know its a long shot but could someone suggest some other likely waders that would possible be field feeding in Calderdale at the moment and in a small flock of around 20 birds ? These "waders" kept well apart from the Lapwing & Plovers in their own distinct flock. Sue and I will be up Norland again in the morning with better bins and the scope so I might get another crack at the waders.
