Scilly day 3 - Buff-breasted Sandpiper

An early start paid dividends with the Buff-breasted Sandpiper and American Golden Plover both showing extremely well at the airfield St.Mary's, with a Golden Plover constantly in tow.

Here's a few of the images which caught my eye....


Coming ever closer!

The light simply awesome!





Clearly at ease :-)






Something has grabbed his attention here! Every now and then the three waders would spontaneously fly, always returning to the same area. I wasn't complaining, great flight shot opportunity!




And here's a preview of the next bird to be featured!


AGP coming shortly.....
