12/07/2014 Rye Harbour and Curlew Sandpiper

Saturday 12th July 2014
Rye Harbour


I decided to try to see the Roseate Tern that had been reported at Rye Harbour recently. 


This time I was unlucky as it did not show.  However I was delighted to see my first Curlew Sandpiper of the year barely 10 metres from the Denny Hide where I was with 3 other birders. It was a sparkling male in full summer plumage.

What a massive consolation and well worth the long journey.
