Spotted Sandpiper
Not particularly good images these, pretty poor in fact (very heavy crops) but worthy of record shots if nothing else. The spotted sandpiper being quite a rare migrant visitor to the UK shores, has become quite a celebrity over the last few weeks with birders travelling sometimes hundreds of miles to get a glimpse of it. You would think after spending the time and money to do so that they would listen to the advice of locals that have seen the bird rather that dismiss them with the 'i know best' attitude as some seem to have done recently ................. their loss!! And i must add that it is only the minority.
