Calidris subruficollis | Buff-breasted Sandpiper | prärielöpare

Hälsingland, Sweden - September 2020

 

A rare vagrant to Sweden. My last opportunity to photograph it was back in 2009, so I decided to make a 4 hour drive during the night to look for it. I spotted the bird before the sun came up, but then I lost it and it took a couple of hours to find it again. The light got a bit harsh, not much I could do about it unfortunately.
