This Lesser Yellowlegs has made Copperhouse Creek in Hayle, Cornwall its home for the past week or more, so we had a day out down west. I found the bird after a bit of a search, but it was never really close enough for any decent photos , so a few record shots only,and the light was terrible. This was the third time I've seen one of these American waders, the others being at nearby Drift resevior.
While here I also photographed a Grey Heron with a very large flatfish which very unHeronlike it eventually gave up trying to swallow it and left it in the water, also a Curlew was very close.

We then went on down to Cot valley where some Choughs were resting on the rocks and I was able to photograph them from the car, although again the light was poor and the sky a white out,but a nice day out.
