Spotted Sandpiper at Wellington Gravel Pits

I fancied a bit of variation this weekend so I headed out to Herefordshire today (Sunday) to catch up with a reported Spotted Sandpiper.

The journey took around an hour and parking was on a lay-by just off the A49. A path way took you up to two viewing points both through fences. It took a good hour before we managed to locate the bird on the far side of the pit feeding on the edge of a water channel. Viewing was limited so I moved back down the path which enabled clearer views of the whole channel.

Its always great to see a lifer and especially one in summer plumage. The only disappointment was it would have been nice if it had been much closer. Oh well, you can't have everything. Top bird and a nice bit of tan topping up.
