16/09/2020 Curlew Sandpiper at Arlington Reservoir, Sussex

 Wednesday 16 September 2020

Arlington Reservoir

East Sussex


It was good to be out and about birding again.  The weather was ideal for this time of year, 24C with a fresh breeze.  Once again it was a late afternoon visit - this time to Arlington Reservoir  which is just 20 minutes from my home.

The attraction was a gorgeous curlew sandpiper - a first for me this year and a first ever at this reserve.

It was at the dam end of the reservoir, on the "beach", to the east of the water towers, along with 10 dunlin, numerous Canada geese and a few pied wagtails.

 A cracking hour,  invested at a great site with its wonderful South Downs backdrop!
