Directions For Solitary Sandpiper

The bird is on Black Hole Marsh, Seaton.

Enter Colyford Common from Colyford Road at SY249922. Walk down track then through gate on to marsh. Follow white topped posts south, over bridge, past the Stafford Marsh pools, and on to Black Hole Marsh. The bird was in the south west corner of the marsh at SY249916 and was present til dark. Best viewed from main track.

Parking is dodgy, but East Devon Council will get something sorted tomorrow if the bird is still present. Also four Green Sandpipers, three Little Stints and Curlew Sandpiper present.

Here's a VERY poor quality video clip, best if you turn the sound right down...
