Back early at Alkborough this morning to see if we could find the Broad-Billed Sandpiper but it wasn’t to be so here is another little video taken last night. Interestingly despite this being a scarce vagrant only Neil, Graham, Adrian and one other birder came.
Another Broad-Billed Sandpiper at Alkborough, the second record since the bank was breached. Showed with a small group of Dunlin and Ringed Plover for around half an hour before flying off high East. As always at Alkborough viewing was immensely difficult and these digishots were the best of a bad bunch - video to follow.
A few images taken recently of some good wader species for this area anyway! In sequence firstly the Collared Pratincole which took up residence around Immingham for a while and has since been seen down in my Brother’s neck of the woods Dungeness. Next a few images from our new wetland area(see last post) Avocet with Redshank and next Wood Sandpiper and the last 3 images taken today on a little twitch to the Idle Valley aka Lound for this Broad-Billed Sandpiper.
