Least Sandpiper at RSPB Medmerry, Sussex

Monday, 7th April 2025

RSPB Medmerry near Chichester, Sussex


Having missed yesterday's ABG outing to Birling Gap with a heavy cold, I travelled down to Chichester on my own to twitch the Least Sandpiper first reported at Medmerry on 2nd April.

  • Thankfully, the bird had just flown in from the beach and showed well at the Stilt Pool, spending much time with three Dunlin.

  • There were also two Little Ringed Plovers and a Ringed Plover nearby.
  • On the way back to the car, I could enjoy the yellowhammers, linnets, etc, that I had single-mindedly ignored on the way down to see the sandpiper.
