Long-billed Dowitcher has moved on...

The juv Long-billed Dowitcher appears to have moved on, having been searched for since first light this morning till at least 10:00am, with no sign. (RM)
A hopeful visit to Brunel Dock on the incoming tide, this afternoon, found it not there either. Little Egret (1), Redshank (43), Dunlin (18) and Kingfisher (1) were.

Well done to Mike Hogan for a really wonderful find at a site, that with regular study, has produced some excellent records for an upland body of water. Thanks also for all those great photos of this very accommodating individual. Cheers DRWG.
