Broad-billed Sandpiper: I think I need to remortgage and move to Southport with the amount of times I've been there in recent weeks! 

This time it was for my fisrt broad-billed sandpiper a marvellous little wader that showed pretty well from Sandgrounders Hide screens. 

During winter, these birds are typically found across eastern Africa, south-east and South Australia, and the Asia.

And during the breeding season they spend their time in Arctic northern Siberia, so to have one locally is something special.


Currently only a one day bird as its not been picked up today, but you never know what tomorrow brings?
