31st August - cloudy, dull at times, light NNE, 15C

Shawell sandpit; evening. Three Green Sandpipers feeding, four Little Grebe, five Mute Swans, plus Teal and Shoveler.

Two Hobbies appeared, an adult food passed then the second bird sat in a tree to eat the item.

A5 Pools/DIRFT; evening. An interesting selection of waders, two each of Dunlin, Ringed Plover, Little Ringed Plover, Curlew, a Redshank.  I spotted a small wader, smaller than Dunlin, which eventually I could see better and confirmed it as a Little Stint.
