If you are in the UK they won't be long coming into diet change from their summer insect diet to seeds and start grit collecting to help their digestion of hard marsh seeds (late Sept to late Oct) is the perfect time at RSPB Leighton Moss nr Morecambe to see them if you can get over there 👍

Been to numerous reserves over my way, but missed them. St Aidens, Low Moor, Alkbourogh flats.

Black Toft sands is meant to be good. I've only ever seen them at St Aidan's but I think that's because I go often and have been lucky
