Gyorgy Szimuly successfully lobbied wader watchers around world to set aside 3 days from 5-7th September to watch, count and enjoy everybody's favorite waders all around the globe. Thus it went, Neil Robert Jones Friestad and Nazeri Abghani, waderwatched on a gloomy and raining Saturday morning counting little grey waders and telling tall stories.
We counted approximately 2000 birds, 80 % being Dunlin, 10 % Common Ringed Plover, and another 10 % consisting of Knots, Sanderling, Little Stint, Ruddy Turnstone and Ruff.
Last year there were approximately 5000 juveniles converging on these very beach ... perhaps the crummy weather kept them away on this World Shorebirds Day 2014.
