Me and Dave went to Frodsham and eventually I picked out the
Buff breasted sandpiper amongst
Dunlin and
Black tailed Godwit. It quickly flew off though I we didnt see it again. Also present were 2
Ruddy Shelduck and a
Peregrine which sent the whole flock up in a panic.
We then went onto Elton flashes where we had good views of
Green sandpiper,
Common sandpiper, Common tern, juvenile Garganey and finally excellent views of a
Wood sandpiper. A nice short day's birding with one lifer and some excellent year ticks.
