Wood Sandpiper
I couldn't resist the temptation of the short drive over to Grimley to see a pair of stunning Wood Sandpipers found by local birder Dan Northside. The birds had been flushed off the Hippo pool by a runner to the east shore line and views were a bit distant. I stuck with it though and a Lapwing pushed them to fly around the pit giving great views and calling throughout. The birds landed on the west side which allowed me to grab a few shots and some video through a small gap in the hedgeline. Nice way to spend a hour late on a Sunday.
