A Wood Sandpiper was found at Lychett Fields RSPB yesterday
and it appears it was around most of the day although it was not in view all
the time. I had a game at Poole Borough FC in the evening and could have easily
combined the two as both are in close proximity to each other!
Birds tend to linger longer during their return journeys to
their wintering grounds but my decisssion not to combine football and birding was a risky decision to make with no guarantee
the bird would be there the next day!
Today I arrived at the reserve a couple of hours before high tide and began scanning the area! Thankfully the bird was re-found in a channel between the pools but was very difficult to get any decent shots of.
The bird flitted across the channel and was not seen for around an hour or so. A few that were there drifted off, including Roly who made the sacrifice knowing the bird would appear as soon as he left! True to form the bird re-appeared on the approach pools showing magnificently!
Job done!
