Baird's Sandpiper

3rd October
After work, as I was half way to Davidstow and I knew the light would be really good, decided to go and see if the Baird's Sandpiper was still on the airfield, on arrival only one other person there (JC) who had filmed the bird and kindly showed me where it was feeding alongside a few Dunlin .I then had it all to myself and spent a good hour watching and photographing it at close quarters. This is my fourth Baird's and all at this site over the last few years .I do like waders.
