Buff-Breasted Sandpiper
At work this morning the call came through that a Buff Breasted Sandpiper had arrived at Burton Mere Wetlands on the Wirrall.Having all my gear in the car and the choice between the 21 Miles to Pennington and only 15 Miles to Burton the choice was quickley made and by 12 pm I was heading down to the Gorse covert hide to see this stonking little American Beauty,and soon located it,but as with the Pallid Harrier the other week ,pictures were never going to do it Justice ,it was an absolute cracker and full frame views through my scope are what I bought it for,and it was superb.It was always a bit distant ,so only record shots were ever gained,but it was worth every second taken to see it,and was still showing well when I left at 4pm.
