Minimum of 5 Green Sandpipers and 2 Water Pipits on a pumped out fishing lagoon this morning plus one Grey Wagtail and one Pied Wagtail. The area is at the eastern end of the Ham Wall railway line just before you reach the Sharpham road. Also at least 60 Cattle Egrets scattered across 3 fields on the road from Sharpham back to the Ashcott road (passing Durston peat factory) near an entrance to Sharpham Park.
