After a successful morning at Walton-on-the-Naze time to drop down the coast to look for Purple Sandpipers at Holland Haven. Due to the exceptionally high tide the sluice was still well underwater so had a walk along to Sandy Point.
Not far along we soon encountered yet another Rock Pipit, but unlike the poser at Walton which sat on top of a bit of tide wrack, this individual was far more timid and just kept peering out of the clumps of Sea Purslane.
Today the sandpipers were spread out with just singles or pairs from the sluice all the way up to Sandy Point but fairly mobile, but eventually we could confirm there was a minimum of five birds present. Very confiding as usual and here are a selection of the shots taken.
Definitely be back again during the winter.
