Bairds Sandpiper -Seafield

 At last a Bairds Sandptper for Seafield . I didnt see the last reported bird here and havn`t seen a Bairds in over 10 years. There had been a good few about the country this autumn and hopes were high.

The bird was found yesterday by Murf  and I was up early along with James who was like minded.

The morning was unproductive  at high tide, even though I had a short  90% sighting of the bird with Sanderling flock it just wasnt enough. 

News was out that afternoon the Bairds was re found so it was a car chase to get down late before the sun goes down
