I couldn't resist going either, but left it late (6.00pm Sun). Didn't matter, sun was behind the sandpiper so it showed very well in the scope, with the godwits, LRP and ringed plover for size comparison. Other sightings as per, Ian but alas not one of the reputed 6 garganey's on the site was showing, although a male B-N grebe was. 100's of swift overhead, but the hobby had attacked them shortly before I got there. Best of all, the car park was not locked at 7.30 as the guy with the key was scoping the sandpiper and didn't leave until after 8.
