PECTORAL SANDPIPER - Brading NR

Wow. Talk about saving the 'best' for last: a last afternoon walk with the bro before he leaves the IOW and we find a PEC sand - slightly unexpected but definitely welcome. First of the year nationally too. Interestingly one was in the same area last autumn.







Phone scope rec shots. Probably due to the eagerness of getting a shot, both camera and scope settings were a bit off. But if it sticks around may get better quality pics.
