Also Dunlin, Red Knot, Grey Plover and Northern Lapwing. Common Goldeneye at Martlesham Creek and Great Northern Diver at Ramsholt. Great Crested Grebe, Slavonian Grebe, Black-necked Grebe and Water Rail possible. Small flock of Twite most winters. High tides are best for seeing roosting waders, check tide times and height first (see the link below). Take care not to get cut off by exceptionally high tides.
