| Sanderling - a juvenile, photographed in evening light |
 |
| Balearic Shearwaters have been moving past Portland Bill - this photo helps explain why I am such an impatient seawatcher |
 |
| A Wasp Spider was doing what it says on the tin at Radipole Lake - despatching a wasp |
 |
| Fancied a change of scene on Bank Holiday Monday so headed for Pennington Marshes in Hampshire where Curlew Sandpipers were among the waders I hoped to see - two were present |
 |
| The Butts Lagoon is fringed with vegetation, but there is one small gap giving a clear view from the path to the exposed mud and shallows where waders were feeding, so I sat there and waited |
 |
| Eventually the Curlew Sands - both scaly juvs - honed into view |
 |
| While focused on the Curlew Sands I became aware of something closer in my peripheral vision - first one, then two previously unnoticed Little Stint had walked across the gap |
 |
| This view shows the prominent white stripes down the back which help identify this as a juvenile Little Stint |
 |
| A tiny wader, I don't think I've been this close to one before |
 |
| Whimbrel was near the Keyhaven end of Pennington Marshes |

| Also a Curlew there... |
