Hi Andrew
This bird shows a flat crown and sharp angle between the bill and the forehead, and a long bill.
Lesser Sand generally shows a stubbier bill and more rounded crown.
The falling tide was slower yesterday, but still went out pretty quick. The smaller waders like the mossy area in front of the new hide, and I had good views of Long-toed Stint and Turnstone for the first time this year, the long-staying Long-billed Dowitcher, a Red-necked Phalarope and a three or four Nordmann's Greenshank
There were also a couple of Saunders' Gull, but the larger gulls seen last Friday had all gone.
Cheers
Mike
