Little Ringed Plover

I had a short visit to Ginst Point this evening just to see what was around. However, I didn't go very far before I found the star bird of the evening... a very smart juvenile Little Ringed Plover. It was frequenting a small stream that runs through the salt marsh and alongside the beach. I watched it for about half and hour as it foraged on the muddy banks of the stream. Eventually, it moved further up the stream and was lost behind the vegetation.
Other birds of note were c30 Curlew, a Redshank, 4 Great Creasted Grebes and 6 Ringed Plover.
