21/09/2017 Baird's Sandpiper in Dorset

Thursday 21st September 2017

Having missed Baird's Sandpiper in Sussex when I was on holiday in Scotland, I finally got to see one in Dorset this afternoon.  

  • I travelled down to Wyke Regis just as the weather there was brightening up after the earlier rain.  I walked the mile or so from the car to Littlesea where the sandpiper was showing well as it foraged by the water.  It was accompanied by 10+ Dunlin and a Little Stint.  Also present were 3 Bar-tailed Godwits and 5+ Ringed Plover.
