Mystery Waders

I've been busy building a swimming pool over the last week and this has left little time for birding other than around the house.
A pleasant sight was when a male redstart appeared in the garden yesterday but around 9pm this evening while crossing the yard I caught sight of a fast flying group of waders heading north west more or less along the line of the D27. I had no binoculars with me and glimpsed them for only a few second but they were of medium size and had sharply pointed wings. Golden plovers immediately come to mind but why they should be flying past the house at this time is a bit of a mystery.
