6th ever Grey Plover

Brian had been calling but my phone was on silent and on charge in the office, but luckily I had got up and went into the office as Trev's text arrived and was out of the house in 3 minutes, Tweeting the Grey Plover news as I left.

Brian had it in the scope on my arrival and we watched it until Trev arrived, just Pete H, Andy T and Roger arrived in time to see it before it headed off North 09:04.

The 6 records history is (italics = 'Observer Unknown') ;

1 April 28th 1984, on Sandford 08:00 to 08:50 only (AJ)
1 May 23rd 1992, on Lavell's (BTB & JR)
3 April 27th 1993, on Tern scrape (BTB et al)
1 May 16th 1998, on Lavell's (OU)
2 May 1st 2011 2011, LFGP flying off North 05:46 (FJC)
1 May 10th 2014, LFGP on landfill until 09:04 (BTB et al)

It was at least 250 - 300 yards away on the landfill so not great record shots
