Burton Mere Wetlands 27th July 2021
We went up to Burton Mere Wetlands in the hope of seeing the Long-billed Dowitcher which had arrived and settled among the Black-tailed Godwits, sometimes showing on the main scrape and sometimes at the Border Hide. We went to both and, as it transipred, it failed to show up. We were very disappointed with the small consolation prize of seeing some Common Snipe. Otherwise the site, in general, was pretty quiet.
