On Sunday, me and my dad left home towards Norfolk where we planned to have a couple of days birding and hopefully pick up a couple of new birds for me. On the way down however, we stopped at Holme Pierrepont in Nottinghamshire where a
Spotted Sandpiper had been showing recently. It took four hours but eventually it did arrive at its favored white water rafting course and showed really well. I took plenty of photos, with mixed results, but the best are shown below.
There was also a very confiding
Long-tailed Duck there but I have not had time to go through my photos of this yet so these will be in another post...

| Spotted Sandpiper - the wing bar was a little bit bigger than we were expecting, but importantly, it does not reach the body as on Common Sandpiper. |
