Ginst Point again...

This morning I headed down to Ginst Point again. The tide was high and there were birds everywhere. The tide was particularly high this morning and as a result large areas of the salt marsh were flooded. Here there were hundreds of Black-headed Gulls, 8 Little Egrets and c60 Curlew. Even more gulls were on the spit but there was no sign of Thursday's Little Ringed Plover. As the tide started to drop more waders started to arrive. 6 Black-tailed Godwits flew up from the salt marsh and headed towards Laugharne. A Redshank appeared on the shore along with 4 Knot. 2 Sandwich Terns were feeding offshore and a Great Crested Grebe was nearby. One last scan across the beach, before going home, and a few flocks of small waders caught my eye. I managed to get close enough to look though them. Predominantly Dunlin (c60), 5 Ringed Plover, 3 Sanderling and... a *LITTLE STINT*! Its small size was obvious against the larger Dunlin and its very energetic habits were great to watch.
