Sharp-tailed Sandpiper - Greatham Creek

[IanF]

A record shot from this morning for posterity. It was even more distant this afternoon.

Hopefully it will stick around and show a little closer.

[Renton Charman]

Mine are similar Ian, hope it stays around a while for closer shots.

These are actually quite sharp, Renton, and show many of the id features. Pretty good in the circumstances. Can I use them for my BBRC record submission? I hope no bright spark is going to tell me Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is no longer on the BBRC list! Best wishes, Dave

[Renton Charman]

Help yourself Dave, happy to help. If you need larger file size let me know.

Bird showed well and quite close at times tonight. However it was very mobile!
