The flood on the common this evening was almost gone, with several lapwings on the last puddle left in a large area of dried, cracked mud. I scanned the flood in the Eton Wick field from the weir, and saw a wader on the far side among the gulls. It wasn't easy to see with just bins, but I thought it was a ruff; and enlarging the pictures at home later confirmed that.
