Water Rail 1
Green Sandpiper
So yesterday we assumed that the dowitcher at Inner Marsh Farm was the same as that at Marshside the day before, and possibly even the same as one near Fleetwood last week. The jigsaw seemed to fit together nicely, an American wader moving south and being seen at various locations. So where does the second bird fit in to the equation? Who can say? In my opinion, having seen the bird yesterday, and having seen photos of the Marshside bird, I think that they are the same, and todays bird is new.
In the photo below, the (new) dowitcher is the middle bird. It's not a great photo, but it does show how small it is compared to the Lapwings and Black-tailed Godwit.
