SOD the ECG results!

A call from Jason Buckley this morning, sent the ECG machine into overdrive, He had found a Pectrel Sandpiper at the VP reserve. It had been seen earlier but listed as a Ruff! Also present was a Juvenile Arctic tern so a double requirement for the reserve had me busting my gut to get there before it B'd of. Not speeding mind you!!

It was nice to see loads of activity at the reserve on my arrival and it was still showing well if a bit distance on the farthest exposed area of mud. Only managed a couple of records shots and of the tern which was doing its best to stay away from the Jackdaws and Lapwings and in doing so staying out of reach of a good shot distance. So no nice piccies but a good two birds for the year at VP. OH! and some MORE Kingfishers shots
