Just got there in time to view BS's Turnstone which appears to have arrived in the mist up there this morning along with Ringed Plover and a Redshank. Managed to scope the bird from the top road. It was associating with a single Ringed Plover far out on the mud - then I lost it just as AC arrived. Tried hard to re-find it but there are masses of shoreline and had to give it up after another hours search.
In the meantime another wader turned up - so distant that AC legged it down to the north track and managed to get a photo clear enough to confirm a Golden Plover - a scarce bird up here nowadays.
Turnstone only my third record for Calderdale in the last 10 years, all singles at Fly Flats 7/5/15 and 12/8/19.
This afternoon at Ogden the best bird was a Kingfisher down in the sluice looking for fish in the pond.
