Lesser Yellowlegs joins Long-billed Dowitcher at Alkborough

Lesser Yellowlegs at Alkborough this morning found again by Neil it has another American cousin the Long-billed Dowitcher on site with which it was fraternising with.  It must be very frustrating for Blacktoft Sands RSPB which is only a short flight away from Alkborough, as although they have recorded 50 waders species on their reserve they have never had either of these birds.

Lesser Yellow Legs in the Scunthorpe Reporting Area

Found today by Wayne and Neil this North American wader is a first for the Scunthorpe Reporting Area - very distant so poor shots I’m afraid.
