they're usually on the sludge lagoons either side of the main path in between the lagoons (not the path that runs past the main lake and willow pool), unfortunately I haven't had time to get round to completing the site guide for Hope Carr yet but give me a ring when you're thinking of going and I'll meet you there if you're still not sure, they're usually pretty easy.

Hi Ian
Whereabouts did you see the Green Sandpipers. Tried three times so far without luck.
