Little Ringed Plover. This is a different bird from yesterday: the breast band is narrower, suggesting it is a female. The breast band of the (presumed) male yesterday was broader either side of the midline, giving a 'dickey bow' effect.
Common Sandpiper: adult and juvenile. The upperparts of the adult (lower bird) are plainer than those of the juvenile. The juvenile's upperparts have dark and light markings, and are lighter brown overall.Wednesday, July 02, 2025

Cold Edge / Ovenden Moor
Still a few waders about but nothing too exciting in the heat yesterday afternoon.
A single Wheatear on the walls at Withens Head was about the best.
Also from NK - a Common Redstart at Carrs Beck - adjacent Ogden golf course. This seems to be a favoured spot.
