Boxing Day walk

On Boxing day, Tuesday 26th December, in the afternoon, I walked along the seawall along the North Beach directly opposite Swimming Pool road and was delighted to see a small flock of Purple Sandpipers fly onto the low seaweed encrusted ledge to feed, there were 6 in number and I scanned over to the further ledge 200 metres further south and saw a further 2 Purple Sandpipers amongst 7 Turnstone and 2 Oystercatchers, totalling 8 Purple Sandpipers, easily my highest tally this winter. Nothing at Ness Point or Hamilton Dock.
