Very nice shot Phil. I've yet to get a decent shot of one of these.

Fine shot Phillip :toast:

I had meant to give you an update on the purple sandpiper situation, but ive had little camera time recently :frown:

I did count 27 of these birds on my local patch, about ten days ago, and this is about average for this area at this time.

Unfortunately, i only counted one bird last friday, as it appears the local hooligans have started riding their scrambling bikes near the purp's favourite section of beach/rocks :frown: :mad: .

It would be a bit risky to chance a visit to this area now, if purple sandpipers are the main aim {along with the rest of the coastal waders}.

I will let you know if the situation changes, but don't hold your breath :frown:
