Another day over at Davidstow airfield at the weekend to see what I could find & try to get some better shots of 'my' Buff Breasted Sandpiper and hopefully Curlew Sandpiper, even though I arrived fairly early there were already photographers onto the Buff Breast,so decided to drive around to see if I could find anything else, the usual Dunlin & Ringed Plover ( which I now check out a bit more after last years Semi Palmated Plover saga-I did,nt see it) and lots of Pipits & Pied  Wagtails., one or two White Wagtails and a couple of lingering Wheatear-the usual fare. Later on I eventually got the Buff Breasted Sandpiper & two Curlew Sandpipers together all to myself in reasonable light showing down to just a few feet-too close at times and managed some nice shots.

  1. Super shots Dibs, Can you ask them to stay around for another week at least until I get back from the States. Makes me comfortable knowing that there's still stuff to fire my enthusiasm back home...
