Pyewipe

I thought so too but yes, definately whimbrel and fortunate to be stood near curlew so not confused. Two of them, both within a few meters of each other.

Glad you found it OK. Isn’t it a little late for Whimbrel though.

Thanks Russell
Managed a couple of hours today, and very impressed. I used to access the bank when I was a kid from up near what was Ciba. There was a rough road that ran to the wall there. Its actually still there, and looks like a better parking option next time.
The tide was well out, and most waders where right on the waters edge, which made spotting difficult, however it was obvious there were knot, plover, shelduck, redshank and curlew with a couple of whimbrel present. Linnets in the trees, with blue and great tit, a kestrel over the fields too.
What a fantastic place though, and right on the doorstep. I didn’t think it was stll accessable, so chuffed that ive got another place within 20 minutes of home.

Park near bridge over the river on Moody Lane 250m from Anglian Water STW. Access Humber bank via footpath beyond barrier.

I too have never been here. Where is the site?

Embarrassed to say that this morning was my first visit to Pyewipe ( thank you Russell for excellent directions).
Wow! Thousands of waders.
Highlight was c3000 Golden Plover: when scattered by a marauding Peregrine they made an amazing, glittering spectacle. Barwits, Blackwits, Grey Plover, Curlew, Lapwing, Knot, Dunlin were present in their hundreds.
