Very dull and damp day so I thought i would stay local and check out the Summer plumage Curlew Sandpiper that was reported yesterday at Pilning Wetlands.  

Pilning Wetlands is a new developing wetland area on the edge of Bristol.  Its on an area called Severnside which sees a few rare and birds turn up on passage each year.

I arrived just after 9am in the poring rain and made my way along the severn estuary to the area of the wetlands that it was reported to be on yesterday.  Unfortunately there was no sign of the Curlew Sandpiper but there were 2 Little Egrets, 2 Oystercatchers, 2 Lapwings and a Grey Heron
