Here was nice on the Stour late evening last week- Greenshank stepping out on the turning tide. Or for non-birders, aliens nervously stepping out of a crashed space module. #BirdArt

Goodness knows what a jack snipe is doing at Cley in July. It’s been around for a couple of weeks but gave good views last night. It’s got a gammy left leg

A few of a spectacular 3000+ grey plover at Snettisham last week. One of the best waders IMO

There has been a strong showing of wood sandpipers at Cley, with 4-6 birds daily from late April to mid May. The reflections from a nearby rape field caught my eye with this bird one evening.

It’s been one of the best springs in a long time for waders at Cley, with a rejuvenated North Scrape attracting most of the action

Recently back from a superb trip to NEIndia. There has been a lot of changes since my first visit to India in 1984- and the birding remains high quality 😁
